Denali Escorted - Tour Sb6

Alaska's "Golden Heart City" of Fairbanks is a great introduction to the heart of this unique state. Check in to the Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge and get ready for the beginning of your adventure. Meet your Tour Director and fellow traveling companions this evening.

A cruise along the Chena River on a Sternwheeler Riverboat is about as authentic as it gets. Later, you'll head for Denali National Park via a scenic motorcoach trip to the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge. Check in with the Guest Service Desk for help in planning your own Denali adventure like a husky homestead tour, river rafting, hiking, glacier flightseeing or an off-road ATV adventure. Or you may enjoy the spectacular main lodge, river view deck, and Princess Village with the popular Christmas cottage and sugar shack. Dinner this evening is at the King Salmon Restaurant. (B, L, D)

Explore Denali National Park on a Tundra Wilderness Tour, watching for glimpses of North America?s tallest peak as well as Denali's "Big Five"; bears, moose, caribou, wolves and Dall sheep.

Enjoy dinner this evening at Fannie Q's Saloon, named after a famed local homesteader.

Between our two Denali lodges is some of Alaska's most beautiful scenery. Sightsee by Princess Rail to Talkeetna and then motorcoach to the Mt.
