Arrival and Departure Information
Denali Backcountry Lodge packages depart from and return to the Train
Depot at the Denali National Park entrance.
Guests meet at the depot at 1:00 p.m. and our private bus departs at
1:30 p.m. At the end of your stay, you will return to the depot at
approximately 11:30 a.m. This schedule allows for southbound travel from
Fairbanks by train on the day of arrival to the lodge, and for travel by
train to Anchorage on the day of departure from the lodge.
Other transportation options include shuttle van, sightseeing bus, self
drive, rental car, and chartered bush airplane. Guests traveling to the
Park entrance will need to allow ample time for construction delays,
slow traffic, and vehicle parking. Guests traveling northbound from
Anchorage by train will require a stay at the Park entrance the night
before going to the lodge.
If you are short on time, or if you missed the opportunity to take our
afternoon narrated bus trip into the deepest part of Denali, you can still
enjoy your stay at Denali Backcountry Lodge by taking a flight with Kantishna
Air Taxi. Kantishna Air Taxi is the only company granted the opportunity
to operate out of their base in Kantishna. Important thing to note here,
if you are flying in, is to make sure you arrange your flight to land in
Kantishna after 6 PM. Similarly, if you are interested in taking the flight
out on the day of your check out, you have to make sure that you arrange
for the flight to leave no later than 9 AM. These fly in and fly out time restrictions
are strictly enforced for ease of operation so we can better serve our
guests. We can book Kantishna Air Taxi and any other tours they offer.
More information about their tours are available
here. Or, you can also
call them directly at (907)683-1223 (June-Sept.) or visit their website

entrance, Denali Cabins offers an excellent location, comfortable
