Cross Country & Backcountry Skiing

Cantwell is a winter wonderland. For the adventurous types you can make your own trails in the backcountry. There is also skate skiing on the Denali Highway.

Snowshoeing

Enjoy the Alaska Range and the wildlife by snowshoeing. Moose are everywhere in Cantwell in the winter.

Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) Viewing

The Northern Lights on clear winter nights are absolutely spectacular. Many of our winter guests are here to just view the extraordinary aurora borealis. Also on clear days the views of Mt. Denali are astounding.
