While many people head north to Interior Alaska to enjoy the most popular attraction in the state, Denali National Park, we just so happen to have a love affair with all the incredible activities that are available right outside the park entrance. Head to the town of Healy where you’ll find the renowned Black Diamond Resort Company. Once you arrive, you’ll be able to take advantage of all the great lodging, dining, golfing, ATV tours and our personal favorite, the horse-drawn covered wagon tours. One thing we know for sure is that these beautiful horses will make you fall in love at first sight.
When you pull up to Black Diamond Resort Co. in Healy, you probably won’t be able to stop your eyes from wondering around at all the incredible sights.
