Overview of Denali Backcountry Lodge

*** Now Booking 2026! *** 

A recent rockslide closed the road in Denali National Park at milepost 43 preventing all automobile travel to and from the lodge.  The good news is there is still an option for guests to enjoy the lodge this season!  All travel to and from the lodge this season will be via helicopter and thus the nightly rate has had to be adjusted accordingly. The cost will start at $1,725 per person per night (based on double occupancy) and travel to and from the the lodge will be available for two or four night stays. Trips longer than four or five nights will be available upon request. This will be a more exclusive experience with limited guests at the lodge and added activities. The lodge will be open starting June 5, 2026 and closing September 11, 2026. Please CALL for availability and bookings - 855-245-1289.

As the name implies, Denali Backcountry Lodge is situated deep within Denali's rugged backcountry. Located at the end of 92 Mile Park Road in Kantishna, it offers you a complete Denali Park vacation experience -- as well as surprising comfort. Most park visitors limit their visits and stay near the developed and crowded Denali Park entrance.

Stay inside the park and experience a more adventurous take on one of the most beautiful places on Earth! Winding through the Alaska Range, deep into the heart of Denali Park, the "Park Road" offers opportunities to see Denali's famed wildlife: Grizzlies, caribou, moose, Dall sheep, wolves, and eagles. Should the weather smile upon you, you will also be able to view Denali itself, the highest mountain peak in North America (20,320 feet).

At the very end of Denali Park Road, past Wonder Lake, you'll find a unique enclave in the park known as Kantishna. This area is home to Denali Backcountry Lodge.  The Backcountry Lodge in Denali National Park is an all-inclusive vacation package with your meals, most guided activities, and programs all included in your stay! Pan for gold, speak with a naturalist, and enjoy morning yoga, fishing, mountain biking, and more, all included with your stay.
