Skyline Lodge 


Make the most of your visit in Denali National Park

    Skyline Lodge is the operations base for Kantishna Air Taxi and its crew, located deep within Denali National Park. We are in Kantishna, which is 95 miles from the park entrance on the park road and just 20 miles as the crow flies from the North Face of Denali (Mt. McKinley). This solar-powered alternative facility can accommodate small groups of guests. Skyline Lodge is the ideal base for independent travelers who want to explore Denali's rich history, geography, flora and fauna.

     Day hiking in the beautiful Kantishna Hills, mountain biking on the park road and old mining roads, fishing in Wonder Lake, or flightseeing can offer a spectacular views of Mt. McKinley and the Alaska Range. Many guests enjoy just relaxing in the lodge. Guests also get a first-hand view of the daily lives of Alaskan Bush pilots.
    

 

    Skyline Lodge offers its guests the use of three common areas: the study area with a collection of Alaskana books and aviation information, the dining and kitchen area for food preparation, and the two deck levels which overlook Moose Creek and the Kantishna Valley.

How to Get to and from the Skyline Lodge

The Skyline Lodge in Kantishna is located at the end of the road in Denali National Park, approximately 95 miles from the park entrance.  You can fly in with us (Kantishna Air Taxi) or ride the Park Service camper shuttle bus in to access our remote location.  A direct flight is 35 minutes long or you can choose the scenic-flyby flight which is 55 minutes, allowing time to experience the spectacular north face of Denali.  Make all flight reservations with Kantishna Air Taxi.  The camper bus takes approximately 6-7 hours going into Kantishna and around 5-6 hours going out to the park entrance.  Driving personal vehicles to Skyline Lodge via the park road requires a permit, therefore driving is not an option.

Pick one of the following transportation options:

Option #1: Bus in/bus out. Make all bus reservations with Park Service. See                 bus schedule.

Option #2: Bus in/fly out. Make bus reservations with Park Service and flight                 reservations with us. See Denali Depot Express for outgoing flight                 prices. See bus schedule.

Option #3: Fly in/bus out. This is the BEST value, easiest convenience,and                 the option we highly recommend. Because of our unique situation                 and general flight schedule, we are able to offer you up to 50%                 off retail price for inbound flights if we can match you with an                 existing outgoing flight. Outgoing bus tickets can be purchased at                 the Skyline Lodge. You do not need to contact Park Service for                 this option. Make all reservations with us. See bus schedule and                 flight schedule.

See Skyline Lodge Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

If the Skyline Lodge is full and/or you cannot find other lodging, don't cross Kantishna off your list. You can still get into this beautiful, remote area of Denali just for the day. Please see our Day-Trip Excursions for drive/fly combo packages.
