Has a nice river that runs near the lodge. You will be in a very populated area near several large resorts. THe big draw in the Denali National Park entrance which is located near by. Lots of little shops, including a Subway restaurant, nearby. I don't know anything about the employee housing area unfortunately. Wish I could help more. You will have lots of people around from the different resorts, lots of social opportunity.

My first seasonal gig was driving a bus and that lead down the path to where I am now. It's been a fun ride.

It's funny, I never actually worked in Alaska for a full season, but I have traveled to about every major city up there during the 5 years I worked for Princess Tours and the 3 years I worked for Gray Line of Alaska (i.e. Holland America). That being said I don't have much personal knowledge of Aramark, but I now work with some of their HR folks and I really like them.

You should enjoy the Denali area. There are lots of cool people around and tons of fun stuff to do.

Will this be your first time to Alaska?

Kari :)

I work for Princess currently, its just down the road from the chalet and the dinner theater is most likely the greatest place there.
