Aramark Parks and Resorts, Denali National Park Best of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Aramark Parks and Resorts"

Quote:
One of the great places to stay while visiting Denali National Park is Aramark Parks and Resorts. They have four different places you can stay, including the Chalets, The Bluffs, The Grand, and The Village. Each has great accommodations and excellent service, with great views of the Nenana River and surrounding mountains.

There was a great view of the Nenana River and Mt. Healy while dining on this great Alaskan food. This four-star restaurant is in the heart of Alaska, about a mile from the entrance of Denali National Park. With fine dining and great views, along with above-average service, this is definitely a hot spot when traveling through the great state of Alaska.

The Cabin Night Dinner Theater at the Chalets in Aramark Parks and Resorts in Denali National Park, Alaska, is one of the main attractions. Along with the magnificent entertainment of the dancing and singing of the employees comes all-you-can-eat ribs, plate after plate of delicious barbecue ribs while the crew tells you the story of the Alaskan wilderness, and followed by the best blueberry cobbler dessert north of the Ukon River. It's a rare spot that you would be crazy to miss.

This amazing raft company offers two different trips you can take down the Nenana River, both about 2 hours long. The tamer of the two, the Wilderness Run, is an excellent source of scenic and sightseeing pleasure, taking you over class one and two rapids, ending up at the resort. The second, the Canyon Run, is for the kid in all of us, beginning at the resort and taking you through a wild ride over class three, four, and five rapids, peaking your excitement and pumping your heart through rapid after rapid. The guides explain and give facts the entire way. The water is a constant 35 degrees year-round. The splashes and instant thrill leave you both dreading and awaiting the next rapid. This is a must-...Read More

Attraction | "Denali National Park And Preserve"

Sizing in at just over 6 million acres, Denail National Park is one of North America's greatest camping spots.From the vast terrain, sky-top mountains, crystal streams, and amazing wildlife, it is the world's gift to us. You can take one of the many trails already planed out for you, some taking only a couple of hours, others taking entire days, and quite worth the time. You can travel deep into the park, and hike mountains and valleys that are rarely bothered by human interaction. If you are a master climber, you can travel to Wonder Lake. From there you can take a touring expedition up the highest mountain in North America, Mount McKinley, rising over over 20 thousand feet into the skyline....Read More
