Denali West Lodge, Lake Minchumina, Alaska
5. Denali West Lodge
Location: Lake Minchumina, Alaska
What's Cool: Lakeside living in Alaska's roadless forests
-----------------------------------------
Far out in the roadless wilderness surrounding Alaska's Mt. McKinley lies a luxuriously appointed cluster of 10 log cabins that form the Denali West Lodge. The ever-hospitable Hayden family built the Lodge in 1985 on the shores of Lake Minchmina, the largest lake in interior Alaska. Visitors fly in by scheduled bush-plane from Anchorage or Fairbanks (or simply charter a plane - Alaska's version of a taxi) and spend their days exploring the pristine birch-studded landscape in the lodge's pontoon plane or, in the winter, dogsled teams.
