Riley Creek Information Center , just inside the park on Park Road, is the place to obtain information on the park and campground reservations. The first 14 miles of the road are paved. The park headquarters area contains a resort hotel and lodge, and there are private hotels and campgrounds located outside the park along George Parks Highway. People planning to visit the park are urged to reserve their hotel accommodations well in advance to avoid disappointment. Enter from the George Parks Highway.
All visitors stop here for an orientation.
This outpost resort, located at the end of the national park road in the heart of Denali Park, is considered by many the finest place to really get to know the mountain and the park. Wallace and Jerri Cole own and operate the resort, and also operate the nearby Northface Lodge, which does have baths in its rooms. The resort and lodge share the nature interpretation programs. Hiking, canoeing, rafting, fishing, and mountain biking are available. All meals are supplied.
