The guides were truly amazing. They made you feel so safe and comfortable, while really making sure everyone themselves. They were very funny and always smiling. Great operation.

However, their excellent instructors give clear, simple instructions that are reinforced throughout your 2 and a half hour journey through the canopy. Safety is clearly their priority- they were were confident, professional and kind. It was cloudy the day we went so we could only see the foothills of Denali, but it was still gorgeous. There we tons of songbirds seranading us in the trees. The last two zips near the lake were my favorite. Simply beautiful. Also really enjoyed the rappel. We are already planning our next ziplining adventure with their sister company in Seward which apparently includes 3 rappels.

We just went out with Todd this morning and had the best time, despite the rain, wet and cold! My…read moreboyfriend and I had Todd and his sweet dog, Bandit, all to ourselves and we were one of the first ones on the river this morning! While the spot is a popular spot, it was teaming with salmon and plenty for all! Todd literally caught a fish on his first cast (he was giving a quick tutorial). My boyfriend and I caught and released about 20 chum and pink "humpy" salmons and still caught our quota of silver (coho) salmon. (In AK you can only keep 3). We only reserved him for a half day, which was plenty for us given the unlucky weather. Todd was super helpful and had all of the gear we would need, including waders, printed our fishing licenses for us, had multiple rods ready to use, had fly fishing rods (which we didn't try, but he was using them) and took care of all our netting, and filleting our fish. You could tell he really knows his stuff and that the other outfitters were a little jealous of all the fish we were catching. Apparently it all has to do with the "rig" we were using (aka the hook, tackle, set-up of the rod). He then gave us the number of a really nice lady, Crystal, who doesn't normally work on Sundays, but met us anyways to help process and ship our fish home. (I will review once we get home and reunited with our fish.) Overall, our experience was great and exactly what we came to AK for. When you're out with a guide for several hours, personality is important. I was worried that our guide might be a grouchy local snob (since we are from SD and clearly tourists) or overly cheesy (which we were a little sick of after being on a cruise ship). Todd is the guy that lives here, owns and operates his own business, and clearly takes pride and care in guiding others in what he does very well. We caught a ton of fish and had a great time :) Thanks again, Todd.

Stronger than it may seems. Park itself is very small but a great place to spot Mt Denali on a good day. Mountain is not always visible but chances of seeing the mountain is an early morning. Sun might rise around 4 or so in the summer but that's the best time to come to the park if mountain may show their face. We were in town for three days. On the last day, the weather finally cleared up and there! Oh it was so beautiful, I stood there admiring the mountain for a long time. My in keeper said only 10% of visitors get to see the mountain, and I felt very lucky to be that 10%. Other than that, this is a very small park.

However when that has happened, it has never affected how quickly we've been served food. And it also provides great people-watching opportunities - if you enjoy such an activity. It's a rustic interior, there is bar seating, booths, and tables. The servers are very cheery, I've always found. On a clear day, there's great views of Denali from the patio deck, just outside of the dining room. The coffee is refilled often, and the food is pretty good. It's not fine dining, it's average diner food, but it is served pretty fast, and it's freshly made. Husband had pea soup on our last visit, which I must admit, it was really good, I opted for BLT and fries, and the fries here are always above average. Hot, crispy, and freshly made. I can't stand limp, lukewarm fries, and would give a bad rating if something like a simple French fry cannot be cooked perfectly. Conversely, if the rest of the meal were not so good, should there be some form of well-cooked potato, and wonderful service, I would still give a good rating. There's a nice gift shop here too, I usually have a browse, rarely make a purchase. The bathrooms are somewhat basic, but functional considering there's not too many options on this particular road. I imagine that folk who are staying at the 2 nearest campsites, probably frequent this place quite often, and coming back from Denali Village, after camping, checkout being around 10am, we usually arrive here at approximately lunchtime. It's a welcome stop on the way back to Anchorage.
