Life in Denali

Do you wonder what it might be like to live in Alaska? How far do Alaskans drive to get groceries? How do they live without running water? This one-hour program will answer these questions and more as guests get a glimpse into what it takes to live in Interior Alaska. A year-round resident will share their experiences of living in Denali. Through personal stories, videos, or even photos from weddings and potlucks, you’ll learn about what draws people to live in a cold, dark, unique, and truly amazing place.

The Denali Education Center and its staff were the highlight of our trip while in Alaska. The location was ideal, the food was great, and the people we met along the way were great. ~ Richard from Alexandria, VA
