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 were staying in Palmer and started the drive to Denali. Got as far as Talkeetna and decided we just didn’t have it in us to continue the drive. Stopped at Talkeetna Air to see if by some chance there was an opportunity to see the mountain Denali. Weather was iffy but we scheduled a flight for 4:00. God blessed us with enough clearing to get the go. This journey became one of the highlights of our vacation. The views are breathtaking and awe inspiring. This is the best way to see Alaska. Our pilot was knowledgeable and thoughtful and told us all about what we were seeing, a little history and backstories as well. He answered questions and you could tell he loves his job. The summit of Denali peeked through the clouds for us so the goal was met. We did the glacier landing which is just another world altogether. Beautiful doesn’t begin to cover it. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

We were blessed with a clear day for our flight. Alex was our pilot and I was able to sit in the co-pilot seat. The views we had were amazing because it was so sunny and clear. Alex described what we were seeing as we flew over the rivers and by Mt Denali. We circled the mountain but he took care to make sure both side of the plane were able to see by circling back several times. We had a very smooth flight and our landing on Ruth Glacier was very smooth. I was in awe of the beauty we had from the air. I would highly recommend flying to Denali and the glacier landing.
