If there’s one thing that never gets old out here in Alaska, it’s hunting for the aurora borealis. We will travel all over the state, at crazy hours of the night, to get a front row seat to these spectacular shows. This cozy yurt in Alaska will let you watch the aurora borealis, snug and warm, from inside the building. No need to drag a chair out into below negative temperatures anymore, when you can stay in this great little spot outside of Denali National Park.

Right outside Denali National Park is a cozy little yurt with a front row seat to the aurora borealis.

There’s a hiking trail that takes you straight from the yurt to the mountains, so you can get out and explore right away each day. When you come back, light the wood fired stove and enjoy an evening playing cards around the fireplace.
Even though this yurt is as close to wilderness as you can get, you still have access to the amenities.
