Denali National Park

Hello everyone!
So I was offered a chance to head up to Alaska in the summer and work for Aramark/Denali. I was curious if anyone had or is currently up there and could let me know how it is. Thanks!!

I'd like to work in one of the restaurants I suppose. Waiter, busser or something like that but I'd be willing to try anything. Thanks; ▶ Reply to This
