at Denali National Park, Alaska.
Denali
Crow’s Nest Log Cabins and the Overlook Bar & Grill are located one mile
north of the Denali National Park entrance on Alaska Highway #3, the George
Parks Highway. We are approximately 120 miles south of Fairbanks and about
240 miles north of Anchorage (two-hour or four-hour drives respectively).
This is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Denali National
Park and Preserve is over 5 million acres in size.Animal life includes Dall sheep, caribou, grizzly and black bear, wolf, fox, and beaver to name a few of the 37 species of mammals. Over 152 species of birds migrate to the Park, and the flora is unbelievable in its diversity.
If you enjoy recreational activities then you are coming to the right place. Activities at Denali include river rafting, mountain biking, bus tours (into the Park), horseback riding, flightseeing and, of course, backpacking and camping. During June and July it stays light nearly all night long so there is plenty of time to participate in these activities and more.
Few towns or cities lie along the road between Fairbanks and Anchorage, but the entrance area to the Park is developed with 8 hotels and many restaurants and gift shops. There are well over 1,000 employees in the area in the summertime and over 5,000 visitors daily so you will not be isolated.

We encourage you to talk with your supervisors and fellow employees to understand exactly what is expected of you. We are a small, close-knit family. You will know everyone with whom you work, and they will know you. We can guarantee that you will not become a number.
