View Original Description
A remote paradise lies deep in the Alaskan Wilderness, accessible only by plane. Immersed in nature, you will discover an outpost designed for adventure and enhanced by comfort, 100 miles from the nearest road. Outside Magazine awarded Ultima Thule Lodge "Top 10 Hideaways" "The moment the bush plane brushes the gravel runway at Ultima Thule Lodge, you are officially 100 miles from nowhere. Bounded to the north by the salmon-thick Chitina River and backed by the turquoise glaciers of the Wrangell Mountains, which top out at 16,000 feet, the family-run lodge is all-inclusive in a uniquely Alaskan way. At your disposal: planes, whitewater rafts, kayaks, hearty meals, warm beds, and the 13 million acres of Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve that surround the lodge.... “OUT THE BACK DOOR: With Alaskan summer days as long as 20 hours, an Ultima Thule "day" trip could mean an expedition to 16,390-foot Mount Blackburn, a walk along the iceberg-calving Gulf of Alaska, or a dogsled ride across the glaciers that embellish the national park—all with the assistance of the lodge's guides and experienced bush pilot —Lolly Merrell Outside Magazine
