View Denali (Mt. McKinley) from the deck of Talkeetna Alaska Lodge. Sip a local Alaska microbrew on a huge deck overlooking rolling green lawns, forests, rivers, tundra, foothills and Denali rising in the background. Order grilled salmon, let kids play on the lawn and enjoy one of nature's greatest shows. If the mountains are obscured by clouds, that can change in an hour. And if it is cold outside, sit in the lodge and look out the huge windows at the snow covered mountains.
