This wilderness lodge is located along the Parks Highway, in the Glitter Gulch community a mile north of the park entrance. Unlike the lodges at Kantishna, in the heart of the park, this one features rooms with TVs and telephones in case you want to catch up with the outside world. There is also a high-ceiling two-story main lodge with tour desk, sitting areas, gift shop, café, and dining room. Views from this hotel take in the Nenana River, and rich forest colors in rooms mimic the surroundings. Complimentary shuttle service is provided to the park and railroad station. The large Summit Dining Room offers an estimable view and fine dining, and a dinner theater combines a meal with a musical comedy that recounts the first ascent of Mt. McKinley. Picnic lunches, burgers, and more casual fare are available at the Summit Bistro.
