McKinley Lodge

The McKinley lodge in this picture is the group of smaller buildings seen near the base of the mountain in this picture.  This was our accommodation for several days when we visited Denali Park.  We got this view from a small trail path near the Denali Park Visitors Center and just across the tracks from the Alaskan Railway station at the visitors' center.

We had to wait for a passing train to cross the tracks and head down this trail to the overlook.

From the McKinley Lodge one could take various tours such as river rafting, aerial sightseeing, jeep tours, ATV tours, horseback rides, and other commercial forms of viewing the landscape...including just plain walking/hiking around.
