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.

This is an incredible experience. We were blessed with 3 days of the mountain being "out" and took full advantage of the fact with a great flight. We saw some of the most beautiful mountains and glaciers in the world for sure. TAT is simply the best at what they do. Thanks to Annie and the rest of the staff for an awesome experience. Our pilot was Chris and he was great. Plenty of information and communication an when we will turn the plane so everyone can get pictures etc...

From the check-in with weighing (with no smirk from agent), to fitting on the complementary booties, to the safety briefing by Captain Chris, to the smooth flight with knowledgeable comments by the Captain, to the perfect landing on the Great Gorge of the Ruth Glacier, to the on glacier experience and smooth return to the airfield, they were all part of a great experience. As a former Airline Captain I think I know a smooth safe operation when I experience it. I recommend this trip highly. I was fortunate and was able to occupy the right seat in the cockpit. If any pilots sign up for this trip, beg, borrow or steal to get this seat!

Glacier landing was amazing. I was terrified of this adventure I am not one for small planes or heights. Our pilot was so great (Stan). From take off to landing it was the smoothest ride ever. Landing on the Ruth Glacier was by far one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
