Alaska Trip-of-a-Lifetime!

As grizzly bears come out of their winter hibernation and Denali Park Resorts prepares for its 2008 season opening, May is the perfect time to explore the wildlife of Alaska! Denali National Park and Preserve, which spans six million acres and includes Mt. McKinley, is the home of moose, Dall sheep, wolves, caribou and many other wildlife creatures. A sub-arctic ecosystem, Denali also features rare taiga and tundra plant life that make for an exhilarating adventure in one of Mother Nature’s finest creations.

For early bird travelers that want to visit in May before the summer crowds arrive, Denali Park Resorts is offering significant savings with an “Early Bird” package. At just $189 plus tax per night, guests will receive a one-night stay at one of the Resorts’ four properties: McKinley Chalet Resort, McKinley Village Lodge, Grande Denali Lodge or Denali Bluffs Hotel. This offer is available on most nights, depending on vacancy.

Set along the Nenana River just outside the park entrance, the recently renovated McKinley Chalet Resort offers 345 upscale, two-room mini-suites in cedar lodges and serves as the embarking point for the park’s whitewater rafting trips.  It also hosts the “Alaska Cabin Nite Dinner Theater” show, a popular outing for locals as well as visitors new to Denali! New guestrooms and luxury amenities are also featured this year at the McKinley Village Lodge.  

Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska contains acres of magnificent glaciated landscape, an assortment of wildlife and plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun. Whether it’s hiking, river rafting, mountaineering or wildlife viewing, Denali Park Resorts offers a little something for guests of all ages. In addition, the most popular tours at Denali Park Resorts, including the Kantishna Experience Tour, the Tundra Wilderness Tour and the Explore Denali series, are back this season and better than ever!
