Board the Direct-to-the-Wilderness Rail to Talkeetna and motorcoach from there to the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge. Sit and gaze at the majesty of ?The Great One? from the lodge?s treehouse designed and built by Pete Nelson of Animal Planet?s Treehouse Masters. Hear stories about climbing North America?s tallest peak in the Hudson Theater or roast a marshmallow at the fireside patio.

Between our two Denali lodges is some of Alaska's most beautiful scenery. Sightsee by motorcoach to the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge, situated a short shuttle ride away from spectacular Denali National Park. Easy trails link the various places to shop and dine in this campus setting. Be sure to check out Fannie Q's Saloon, named after a famed local homesteader, or sit outside at a fireside patio.

Explore Denali National Park on a Natural History Tour, watching for glimpses of North America?s tallest mountain as well as Denali's "Big Five"; bears, moose, caribou, wolves and Dall sheep. Later today, you may want to simply relax with a glass of wine on the deck overlooking the Nenana River.

Take in final views of the mountains, perhaps over a leisurely cup of coffee, before you transfer via motorcoach to Fairbanks.

This morning, take a Gold Dredge 8 tour with the chance to pan for your own gold. Enjoy a miner's lunch before taking a cruise on an authentic Sternwheeler Riverboat down the Chena River. The evening is at leisure in Fairbanks.

Your tour ends in Fairbanks, but your memories of this trip will last a lifetime!
