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.

Our time spent with the folks from Talkeetna air taxi was the highlight of our trip to Alaska. I would strongly recommend to anyone out there planning a trip to this great land to include this in their memories. From the young lady that checked us in. To the pilot that personally narrated our tour and gave us some views of Denali and the surrounding area, that we will remember for a lifetime, One thing I would recommend though is if you have flexibility in planning your trip watch the weather a few days before hand and contact them and maybe try to reschedule for a different day or different time. The day that we were scheduled to go was supposed to be cloudy I contacted them and they were able to move us up one day. It worked out perfectly! Remember, only 20% of the people that visit Mount McKinley a.k.a. Denali, actually will be able to view it, so pick your day and plan your trip around this great excursion!

Breathtaking! If you get a chance, do it. The views are amazing. The pilot was awesome and full of knowledge. I would recommend Talkeetna Air for this trip. I can't say enough about this trip from everyone from the desk to the pilot.

This was the most exceptional experience my family had while in Alaska. There are not enough adjectives to describe the trip. The pilots are all IFR certified and are extremely safe. Leeann was our pilot and she was personable and simply wonderful in every way in addition to being a fantastic pilot.
