Caribou Lodge

A small and personal operation without the crowds, the Caribou Lodge offers a relaxed learning experience with an Alaskan wilderness family.

Caribou Lodge is closer to Mt. McKinley than the park headquarters or entrance. Nature and tranquility are their only neighbors. A private paradise in the Alaskan wilderness or "The Bush," as it is known to Alaskans, offering fantastic views of Mt. McKinley and the Alaskan Range to the west and to the east overlooking the lake, stands the beautiful Talkeetna Mountains. A perfect place to relax away from the stress of the world around you. Visitors come out for the peace, solitude of nature and excellent backcountry hiking opportunities. If you're looking for scenery, wildlife, leisure, and an exhilarating unique experience, then look no further! View photos of Caribou Lodge in our Flickr gallery by clicking HERE.
