Lately I’ve been craving an escape from the city. This is rarely possible, so I tend to live vicariously through the emails that flog my 9-5 inbox. Today’s was especially charming.

National Parks and their lodges have been getting a lot of great attention, and Denali National Park in Alaska is no exception. May rates at the McKinley Chalet Resort seem to be around $189/nt- not bad for a hotel that Hotels.com and Trip Advisor both seem to favor.

These hotels offer no sort of airfare-inclusive packages, but luckily Alaska Airlines also has some sort of early summer sale, with rates beginning at $59 each way. To fly to Denali National Park, check flights going into Cantwell, Healy River, or the smaller Denali National Parks private airports.
