ANCHORAGE, AK–(Marketwire – July 27, 2010) –  You can still beat the heat in the lower 48 while visiting Denali National Park this summer with the “Summer Celebration” package at either McKinley Village Lodge or McKinley Chalet Resort. This special savings package gives visitors a $100 discount off the regular room rate at either property plus a $100 resort credit that can be applied to tours, meals, gift purchases and activities operated by Denali Park Resorts.

Visitors to either McKinley Chalet Resort or McKinley Village Lodge will enjoy savings of up to 34% off the normal room rate and can use their $100 resort credit towards the purchase of tours into Denali National Park; the popular Alaska Cabin Nite dinner theater; rafting the Nenana River with Explore Denali Rafting; purchases at any of the four gift shops, and for food and beverages at any of the restaurants at McKinley Chalet Resort and the McKinley Village Lodge.

“While the rest of the country is sweltering, we’re heating up summer travel to Alaska by making it more affordable to visit Alaska’s Denali National Park. When you combine the room rate discount and the $100 resort credit, it’s over a 50% discount,” said Carol Fraser, director of sales and marketing for Denali Park Resorts.

The Summer Celebration package is valid through August 31, 2010, subject to availability. To make a booking, call 866-296-0327 and ask for the package by name. Additional nights can be booked at the same discounted hotel rate.
