Located a short flight from Anchorage and just outside Denali’s southern Boundary, Chelatna Lake Lodge provides top-notch accommodations and some of the best all-around adventure activities for its price. Whether you’re seeking a short stay or a multi-day adventure, they specialize in national park tours, fishing, overnight raft trips, wildlife viewing, hiking, boating and much more.

Redoubt Mountain Lodge
Redoubt Mountain Lodge is a remote wilderness hideaway with room for just 12 guests. Redoubt Mountain Lodge offers natural beauty, comfortable accommodations, a high level of personal attention, and lots of activities (with expert guides for all of them). Its dramatic setting on the glacier-fed waters of Crescent Lake, in the heart of the Chigmit Mountains, offers dazzling views—including that of its namesake peak, 10,197-foot Redoubt Volcano. And, since it's the only privately owned property within a 25-mile radius, staying here is a truly remote Alaskan experience.
