What To Expect

Denali National Park and Preserve

This high-elevation expedition soars above Denali to view the summit at over 20,000 ft. This is a one-of-a-kind tour for adventurous travelers that explores the Alaska Range from a unique, towering perspective. *The Summit tour spends more time at higher altitudes and gives a broad overview of the Alaska Range. *See the glaciers that blanket the slopes of the Alaska Range, and learn about the area's natural history from your plane's expert pilot. *Follow the river systems of Talkeetna across the Susitna Valley into an incredible landscape of icefalls, glaciers and snowy peaks. *Approach one of the expansive glaciers blanketing the slopes of the Alaska Range and touch down on its snowy surface. *Get out of the plane for the opportunity to walk across this massive river of ice, soaking in the rugged beauty of the surrounding mountain scenery before hopping back in the plane to fly back to Talkeetna.

Talkeetna

If you have a weather delay, don't fret! Enjoy the quirky little town that we call home! Time spent in Talkeetna will be hard to forget as you see tourists mingling with mountain climbers, all watching the weather to see when they can hop on a plane and fly up to see Denali. Enjoy the shops and restaurants that line Main Street, stop by the Talkeetna Historical Society Museum to learn about the colorful history of the town, or enjoy one of the many trails that invite you to explore beyond the pavement.

We did the Denali Summit flight seeing and glacier landing tour and it was absolutely amazing. Circling the summit at 20,000 feet a few times, landing on the glacier and walking around were and incredible experience. Alex is an awesome pilot and he made sure that we saw as much of the mountain(s) as possible, and he took full advantage of a beautifully clear day. It was the highlight of our two week trip to Alaska and we would recommend this to anyone that wants to see the beauty of this majestic mountain. Everyone at Talkeetna Air was fantastic! Heidi and Amy made sure that we had transportation around town during the two days that we were there. They all went above and beyond to make our visit an experience of a lifetime and one to remember!

Excellent pilot and experience! I would highly recommend Talkeetna Air Taxi! Smooth flight, great commentary, pilot turned the plane to both sides so all could get a good view. Really enjoyed it!

First time I boarded a small aircraft. Pilot and staff in the office were very nice and calmed my nervousness. Best part of trip was landing on Mt. Denali glacier. Entire staff were A+.
