Today you will fly into the heart of Denali National Park. You'll be given a specific time to report to the Camp Denali office at the private airfield of Denali Air, near the east entrance to the park. (Most folks will have spent the previous night at Denali Cabins or similar outside-the-park accommodations.) From this private airfield, enjoy a scenic flight into Kantishna, at the far end of the 93-mile park road. From the Kantishna airfield, you will travel a couple miles to Camp Denali, established along a ridge above Moose Creek, and with fantastic views of Denali itself. Settlein, and get oriented to the way this "adult summer camp" works. Enjoy a fabulous dinner and enjoy sunset from the big, wide windows of the lodge.
Join naturalist guides to remote valleys and tundra-covered ridges where you can take the time to observe the tundra and wildlife of the region. Learn about the ecosystem here, including its biology, geology, sub-arctic ecology, birdlife and history. Each morning a complementary set of guided excursions for differing levels of ability. Hike a nearby summit ridgeline, or try to spot ground-nesting birds and flowers in a valley. Each day visits a different region of the park, offering varied scenery and experiences each day you are here. Necessary physical requirements are an ability to walk uneven ground and a hearty spirit of adventure for walking rain or shine!

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.

I spoke with at least a half dozen other travel companies, looking for a Galapagos cruise that fit our schedule and budget. Some companies could manage one or the other, but Erin was the only one who could do both. She found us the perfect cruise, at a fantastic price! And she has been quick and patient with responses to my many questions. So far, Adventure Life has been a fantastic company to work with!
