Welcome To Kantishna Roadhouse
Denali Park Backcountry Lodge
Hike alongside Mount McKinley, visit Wonder Lake and Reflection Pond
The Kantishna Roadhouse is an all-inclusive lodge located deep in the heart of Alaska's majestic Denali National Park & Preserve.
We invite you to spend your Alaskan vacation observing Denali Park’s abundant wildlife and experiencing breathtaking wilderness while relaxing in our backcountry lodge. Kantishna Roadhouse in the historic Kantishna mining district features auhentic Alaskan cabin accommodations, all meals and snacks during your stay, daily guided (and self guided) activities and tours, and hosted evening naturalist programs. The lodge grounds boast ample opportunity for both solitude and adventure.
The Kantishna Roadhouse has a longstanding tradition of Alaskan hospitality. The original roadhouse at Kantishna was built in the early 1900s, serving as a private residence, a community center, post office, and informal hotel accommodations for those who came visiting Kantishna in Denali Park. Many nights were spent spinning tales of the Alaskan trail over a hot cup of coffee and a hearty meal. You can still see the old log structure and other remnants of the past at the back of our property.
Today, we continue to talk of the trail, but in more modern and comfortable surroundings. Through years of hard work, Denali Park’s Kantishna Roadhouse has evolved from a gold miner's tent camp into a modern Alaskan vacation resort.

Doyon Tourism is owned and operated by Alaska Native people of Athabaskan Indian descent. One of the top goals of the company is to provide opportunities for education, training, and employment of our shareholders. When you call or visit a Doyon Tourism property, you are likely to interact with Native Alaskans. Whether that person is helping you with reservations information, greeting you as you check in, driving your bus, or leading your hike, you will find yourself in a unique position to learn more about the history, heritage and cultures of Alaska from someone who was born, raised and educated in the Land of the Midnight Sun!
Deep ties to the land, extensive knowledge of the plants and animals, and firsthand information and experiences regarding the challenges and rewards of living for generations in an extreme environment — that is the Doyon difference.
