For you, trekking outdoors isn’t just a weekend hobby, it’s a way of life. You hunt, you fish, you forage. You find yourself most at home in nature and are constantly inviting friends and newbies on your next adventure. You can name every tree and flower you come across and your instagram is a proud collection of the local wildlife. You find yourself daydreaming about your next hike and reminiscing about your last camping trip. Road trips are your best vacation and you have no problem driving several hours to reach a picturesque lake or a perfect retreat.
At Denali Park Adventures, you can use your skills and your passion to create the summer of a lifetime! Outdoor guides answer the call of the wild both on and off the clock. Denali is a once-in-a-lifetime vacation and guests deserve to have a professional, knowledgeable guide help them navigate the Denali wilderness. There are so many ways to experience Denali but our unique challenge is to cover a massive, rugged area in limited time. We use Jeep Wranglers to comfortably transport our guests to some of the most photographic sights along the Denali Highway, including the Great One, Denali.

Denali Highway Adventure Guides are housed in a one-story building 10 miles south of the Denali National Park main entrance. The housing is complete with several bedrooms and common kitchen and living room. Housing is located at the Jeep tour launch, so the commute is short!
Denali Park Adventures Office Staff are housed dormitory-style next to Otto Lake in Healy, Alaska. Rooms are single occupancy (no roommates!). Kitchens and commons are in a separate building.
Both facilities include full restrooms, running water, on-site laundry, wireless internet, DirectTV, yard and deck with firepit, grills, and outdoor games. Although meals are not included, kitchens have ample cooking equipment, counter space, and appliances. Food can be purchased at Three Bears Grocery in Healy. Rates for our employee housing starts at $80 per week (single occupancy) and includes all utilities. All staff living on site must sign a housing agreement.
If sharing housing with other employees doesn’t sound ideal to you, or you travel with an animal friend, you will need to look for alternative housing. Local cabin rentals (not associated with Denali Park Adventures) may be available and you will have to provide your own transportation to work.
You’ve got to love the wilderness, mountains, and remote environments to get the most out of your summer in Denali. If the mountains are calling, spend time hiking in Denali National Park or go on an overnight camping trip! Drift lazily in nearby lakes or raft the Nenana River! Spend evenings around a bonfire, catch the northern lights, or dance to local music. Get out and meet folks from around the world and immerse yourself in the unique community that calls Denali home each summer.
Other local attractions offer complimentary or discounted tours to local employees such as whitewater rafting on the Nenana River, ziplining over the boreal forest, ATVing, meeting the puppies and Iditarod Champion sled dogs at the local kennel, flight seeing tours and glacier landings around Denali, helicopter tours with glacier landings, bus trips into the national park, fly fishing, etc.
Complete the entire season with Denali Jeep, fulfilling your contract, and receive an end-of-season bonus. Returning employees have priority during hiring, first pick at housing options, and other benefits.
Denali Jeep does not pay for transportation to and from the Denali area, but we will help you to plan your transportation. The easiest and most economic option is to fly into Anchorage and take either the train or shuttle bus to Denali/Healy. We will pick you up at the local train station or bus drop-off. Our employees do receive a substantial discount on fare to Denali from the Alaska Railroad and other shuttles.
We provide a regular shuttle service around the Denali area. Denali National Park runs free and fee-based shuttles throughout the park for access to camping and hiking. Several other hotels and restaurants run free and fee-based shuttles in the Denali area.
Having a personal vehicle may allow you to pursue your own outdoors interests during days off or down time.
