2010 Denali Backcountry Lodge - Add-on Option

Immerse yourself in the heart and soul of Denali National Park on this special tour which will take you deep into Alaska's backcountry. You will go above and beyond any standard park tour as you travel along the world-renowned and very restricted Denali Park Road to the beautiful Denali Backcountry Lodge. With only 90 miles of road for all of Denali's six million acres, and only 15 miles of that road being unrestricted, your journey and stay at the Denali Backcountry Lodge will truly give you a special park experience with every opportunity available for viewing wildlife. Witness the secret life of Dall sheep, caribou, moose, wolves, and bears as you explore optional excursions including bike rides and guided hikes. For a well-rounded trip, attend one of the many historical and cultural presentations offered at the lodge, or spend a cozy evening exploring the natural history library and video collection. The Lodge prepares fresh, hearty and wholesome meals. Don't miss the hot breakfasts each morning, as well as the sandwich buffet for lunch. Dinners are served family style by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. This tour is designed to make your stay in Denali National Park as comfortable, authentic and unique as possible.

WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE

Much has been said recently regarding travel outside the United States, the various flus going around, and whether it is cheaper to go to Europe, on a cruise, or just down the road to Branson, Gatlinburg, St. Louis, or Atlanta.

We know that we work hard for what we have and for the money that we put aside for travel, and we know that we all deserve not only a good vacation, but a great vacation experience.

That is why you need a travel consultant to help you plan your trip. We know where is safe and where isn't. We know which ships are good for which clients and events. We know where you can get the most bang for your buck.

You call a travel consultant because we can give you information that you can't get from an online booking engine.

Call me today at 662-560-6085 or 662-288-9052 for help planning your next vacation.

If you are traveling outside the United States, you will need to get a passport. You can do that at your local post office or click on the link below that we have provided.

DO NOT "EVER" TRAVEL WITHOUT TRAVEL INSURANCE!!!!!!

The last thing is travel insurance. Check with your health care providor and be sure that your health insurance covers you outside the continental USA and in a foreign country. If they say that they do, get a copy of that page in your policy faxed to you. If it doesn't, do not leave on your trip without Vacation Protection Insurance. Contact me at 662-288-9052, and I will send you the forms. You just cannot take the chance of not having coverage if you are on a trip and you aren't covered.

We are your security blanket in times of need. Call today. I look forward to hearing from you soon at 662-288-9052.
