Denali Lodges Catalog 2009 - (Page 4) DENALI BACKCOUNTRY LODGE Denali Backcountry Lodge A wildlife experience… A mountain experience… Most visitors to Denali National Park and Preserve limit their visit to the developed and congested Park entrance. The more adventurous travel to Kantishna at the end of one of the grandest drives on earth, the Denali Park Road. Winding through the Alaska Range, deep into the center of the Park, this exciting route offers you the best chance to see the wildlife which makes the Denali area so unforgettable. Grizzlies, Moose, Caribou, Sheep, Wolves, Fox, Golden Eagles, and a vast array of other bird life all may be sighted on the way to or from our exclusive lodge. And, should the weather smile on you, above it all towers “The High One,” Denali itself, the tallest mountain in North America. While traveling the restricted Park Road on our private lodge coach, it is not uncommon to witness astounding natural displays. During your journey, our experienced guide/drivers share their knowledge of the Park and offer wildlife searching tips to help you locate the Park’s animals and birds. Whether through binoculars or with the naked eye you may be fortunate enough to see: a grizzly sow nursing her first-year cubs; a band of bull caribou with huge antlers browsing along the tundra; or dall sheep on the high mountain ridges, playing and frolicking as if they knew they were being observed. Each trip to the lodge is a spirited and suspenseful event, loaded with anticipation. Although Denali National Park is a wilderness – and wildlife events don’t occur on a schedule – the scenery is always superlative, and it’s rare that a trip doesn’t produce numerous wildlife sightings. The spectacular trip to the lodge takes around 6-hours, depending on weather and wildlife sightings. We run a little faster on the return trip, since many guests must make train connections.
