Fodor's Expert Review Ultima Thule Outfitters

This remote fly-in-only lodge on the Chitina River in Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve offers four-night "air-safari adventures" packages (starting at $8,550 per person) that include flightseeing, rafting, climbing, hiking, fishing, mushing, and skiing excursions. Three generations of the family that owns and lives at this property are extremely knowledgeable about the area. The family-style meals include local fish, game, and vegetables from the garden, as well as homemade bread, pies, and cakes. Oak floors, wallpaper, wood-burning stoves, and brass beds provide the comforts of home—Bavarian style.
