Above the tree line at the edge of Denali National Park, Earthsong yields views of open tundra backed by peaks of the Alaska Range. Each of a dozen hand-built cabins has a decor theme (Denali, Sled Dog, Mountaineering) and private bath, a rarity in such small cabins in remote settings. In winter, Earthsong Lodge is one of two concessionaires permitted to lead multiday dog-mushing tours into Denali. The restaurant, Henry's Coffeehouse, named after a beloved sled dog, serves a surprisingly varied menu of pizza and pasta, Middle Eastern fare including vegetarian entrées, sandwiches, subs, and baked goods along with espresso drinks. Slide shows of Denali are a nightly treat, and tours of the sled-dog kennel are offered as well.
