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.

My wife and I checked off a "bucket list" item by flying with pilot Andy Young and Talkeetna Air Taxi and landing on Ruth Glacier in Denali National Park. Although the day was overcast and prevented us from seeing the summit of Mount Denali, we were able to land on Ruth Glacier. The snow was pristine as we were the first flight to land on the snow that fell the night below. Andy flew the de Havilland DHC-3 Otter with great skill, banking both ways to permit all passengers to get stunning views of the glacier and surrounding mountains. It was an experience we will never forget. I encourage everyone who travels to Alaska to make this a MUST DO activity! You will not regret it!

There is a reason every review is 5 stars. I have done quite a bit of exciting and amazing things and this was easily a top 5 all time. The views and experience are unreal. You MUST do the optional glacier landing. You will learn a great deal and see Alaska from a different perspective.

This experience was beyond anything I could have imagined. Our tour was shortened and altered due to weather, but they still made it unforgettable and satisfying (as well as refunding the difference). The pilot pointed out the features below and gave us some good info as well. The mountains are gorgeous and awe-inspiring beyond anything I've seen in my wide travels. Seeing Denali was mind-blowing and almost sacred. Couldn't recommend them more. You get pullover boots for walking on the glacier to keep from soaking shoes, and it wasn't cold on the glacier, and just a bit chilly in the plane. A light jacket or sweatshirt should be good enough on a sunny day.
