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!

Return today to the Kantishna airfield, where you will enjoy a flight back to the private airfield along the eastern edge of the national park.  Flight times are highly dependent on weather, so most folks will build in another night at Denali Cabins or similar outside-the-park accommodations tonight.  (Let us help with all these pre- and post-visit logistics.)
