Denali National Park (Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge)
 Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge is located near the entrance to Denali National Park on the George Parks Highway. Endless opportunities for hiking and backpacking are right outside your door. Hop on the park shuttle to take you deep into the national park with hopes of glimpsing Mt. McKinley, North America's highest peak at 20,320 feet. The lodge is situated on a bluff overlooking the Nenana River, a popular destination for white-water rafters. Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge is a seasonal property located approximately two hours south of Fairbanks and four hours north of Anchorage. The property is open from mid-May to mid-September.
If you are interested in working in a more informal atmosphere, you can apply to work at the Denali Princess employee housing known as the Princess Homestead located in Healy, Alaska.

Community
Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge is located approximately one mile from the entrance to magnificent Denali National Park and 11 miles south of the historical and quaint coal mining community of Healy. Both locations are quiet in the winter and erupt into a hotspot of activity in the summer months with easy access for exploration of the local flora and fauna and a possible awe inspiring view of Mt. McKinley (weather permitting)!
The lodge offers complimentary scheduled shuttles to the park visitor center and science learning center, as well as a selection of area hiking trails. One can access the six million acre park by choosing between a fully guided tour or a ride through the park on a shuttle bus. Though there is a small grocery/convenience store across the street from employee housing, a weekly shuttle to Fairbanks also offers employees a chance to access the conveniences of Alaska’s second largest city.
