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 Denali summit flight tour with glacier landing in June 2022. It was the highlight of our 1-week Alaska trip! Such a memorable experience! We lucked out with great weather and were able to see the summit so clear and close! We also did a helicopter glacier landing tour which costed almost the same, but in my opinion this tour was just next level!

I have flown before with TAT in 2018, while attempting a Denali summit climb. I was impressed with the professionalism of the staff and pilots. Since then, I have tried twice to take a flightseeing trip to see the parts of the climb and summit we were unable to reach due to inclement weather, and also to share the experience with my wife. Unfortunately, the first time we booked the trip was in 2020, so it was cancelled. We tried again this year (2022) and booked our Summit Tour in January. A minimum of 4 must be registered for this trip to “fly”. As luck would have it, the threat of clouds at the summit caused the other couple to back out of the flight, leaving us “grounded”. At this point, the staff, and especially Sandy, went to work to see what options and accommodations were available for us. We were offered several possibilities, but the weather and not being unable to meet the minimum number of clients worked against our goal of seeing the top part of the mountain. We much appreciated the efforts put forth by Sandy (and others) to get us in the air, but our goal was very specific and it was just not going to happen this time. If/when we try again, it will be with Talkeetna Air Taxi.

I was leary of the glacial landing-It was wonderful-so smooth. I highly recommend it. The views are spectacular! everyone had their own window. Fresh snow the day we went. We were given rubber covers for our boots. The takeoff was so fast. Our Pilot was very informative. One of the highlights of any travel experiences.
