Denali

Surrounded by trees, the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge offers incomparable views and is in the perfect location for scenic hikes through Denali State Park. There aren’t many species of trees that are able to grow in Denali naturally, but those that are include the quaking aspen, balsam poplar, black cottonwood, paper birch and Alaska birch. In the fall, the white bark of the Alaska birch contrasts with its glowing yellow leaves and is an incredible sight. Near the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge, visitors can take a walking tour that will give them the opportunity to enjoy panoramic views of snow-capped peaks that really make those autumn colors pop.
