location just 10 miles from the summit of Denali are its epic offerings of glacier trekking, ice cavern exploration, and aurora gazing. As a 3rd generation-run property on the flanks of Denali, the Sheldon family has always desired to keep the adventure of exploration alive and the experience preserved as the pioneers before them embraced Denali. Before there was heliskiing, snowcats or gondolas to usher explorers up the mountain, there was just grit and determination to make it to the top.
