Very scenic location and a must visit even for day visitors. The rooms are very well appointed and comfortable. Staff is competent and hard working. The hotel itself is a little dull and could use some pizzazz, more color and cultural input.

On the way up, I went the "Difficult" way up. It climbs 3,000' in 2.2 miles or an average of 25% grade. It was like straight up! On the way down I did the longer switchback path. Much nicer than the shorter route.

Pretty tough to beat the views of the valley from the top of the Butte.

Bodenburg Butte
This is one of my favorite places to take kids, family, and friends when they come for a visit. It is a truly "Alaska" experience to be able to wander among and feed the Reindeer here. And the scenery on the way can't be beat! Landscape wise, Pioneer Peak is the star of the show on this trip along the Old Glenn Highway & Bodenburg Loop Road.
