Many of the local excursions operate from the Healy area,
including ziplining, ATV rides, horseback and covered
wagon rides and more. If you’re RVing and have your

Healy has an Ace Hardware, NAPA and a full service

grocery store, as well as a bank and post office - which

make it the perfect basecamp for an extended trip.
With its roots as a coal mining and power generation
community, Healy has an interesting history, deeply entwined with the Alaska Railroad and a selfsufficent spirit. Don’t be surprised if your accommodations were built by your host - or your breakfast is
made by a 4th generation Alaskan.
With year-round amenities, Healy is also your destination for winter adventures, northern lights and
Denali National Park & Preserve access.
