Wilderness Lodging: Insider
Recommendations
If you're looking for a true Alaskan nature experience, it's hard to do better than a wilderness lodge. These intimate hideaways may be tucked away on a glacial lake or nestled at the base of a snow-capped peak…or both. It's the perfect opportunity to travel far away from civilization, where you'll have a better chance of seeing wildlife as you hike and fish—or just relax—surrounded by quiet and solitude.
Don't mistake "wilderness lodge" for "primitive"—some of these inns offer the most luxurious accommodations in Alaska, complete with gourmet cuisine and expert guides. Of course, this unique experience isn't exactly a bargain: prices can range from $300 to $800 a night, and significantly more if the lodge is only accessible by plane.
But for many, the rewards far outweigh the cost. Staying at a wilderness lodge is one of Alaska's most authentic—and special—experiences.
