Denali National Park & Reserve Experience

Best Time to Take This Trip
May, June, July, August, September, October
Multi-day Experience
The experience is self-contained.

Ride the rails of the glass-domed McKinley Explorer® railway through breathtaking wilderness to Holland America Line’s privately owned McKinley Chalet Resort — your base camp for adventures in Denali National Park & Preserve and your home for the next 1–3 nights. You may choose to upgrade to a Denali Suite, allowing you to spread out with more space, take in sweeping views from your private balcony, make a cup of coffee with your in-suite Keurig® machine, pamper yourself with premium bathrobes and bath amenities, and more. At the heart of it all lies bustling Denali Square™ — the perfect place to tuck into celebratory meals, shop for handcrafted local goods, enjoy lively entertainment, and toast s’mores around an outdoor firepit. Included on all 2- and 3-night Denali stays is the popular Tundra Wilderness Tour, which brings you deep into the park to witness untamed natural beauty and spot Denali’s “Big 5” (bears, moose, Dall sheep, caribou, and gray wolves) in their natural habitat.

Insider Tip

The weather in Denali can be unpredictable, with temperatures varying widely throughout the day. Be sure to dress in layers, including a waterproof jacket and sturdy shoes. You’ll also want to have plenty of water, snacks and/or medication on hand so you can fully enjoy everything the park has to offer. A pair of binoculars is also suggested, as it will allow you to see Denali’s amazingly diverse wildlife up close without disturbing them. And whatever you do, don’t forget to bring your camera!
