Kantishna Alaska - The
Heart of Denali National Park
|
|
 Kantishna lays within one of the America's most popular
tourist destinations - Denali National Park.
Also called “The End of the Road” and "The Heart
of Denali National Park", this small town at the end of the 95-mile Denali road
boasts a summer population of approximately 135 and no winter residents
Incredibly, there are only two ways for Denali
National Park visitors to get to Kantishna – by bus from the park entrance or by
small aircraft to Kantishna Airstrip, a single gravel runway accessible to only
the smallest of aircraft.
Kantishna Air Taxi has been granted an exclusive concession permit by the
National Park Service and is the only air operator based within the boundaries
of Denali National Park. Kantishna Air Taxi is fully insured, licensed and
certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
In Kantishna, just past Wonder Lake and on the banks of Moose Creek, you’ll find
some of Denali National Park’s prettiest scenery. Several mining camps were
established in this small, Denali backcountry town following the discovery of
gold in Glacier Creek in 1905. The town’s population hit over 2000 during that
first summer.
Thousands of gold seekers streamed into the Kantishna Hills during the fall and
winter of 1905. "Practically every creek that heads into the Kantishna Hills was
staked from source to mouth and intervening ridges were not ignored."
Gold in the region brought a flurry of prospectors in the early days, but as the
gold began to run out so did interest in mining the Kantishna Hills.
Today, visitors from around the world come to
Kantishna not for gold, but for the natural beauty and solitude of this special
place. Many stay at the
Denali Backcountry Lodge for a few
days of hiking, wildlife viewing and flight seeing.
