“We want to be good stewards to Denali National Park as their neighbors and do our part for sustainability.”
Since a change in ownership in 2019, Denali Hostel and Cabins has made recycling a priority for themselves and their guests. DH&C encourages their guests to responsibly and actively participate in their recycling programs which helps bring awareness to the Zero Landfill Initiative. With a different business model than most other accommodations, they believe this is one of the ways they can most contribute to ecological responsibility.
