What To Expect

Talkeetna Air Taxi

You will start your excursion by checking into our log cabin office at the Talkeetna State Airport 45 minutes prior to your flight departure. Be sure to bring your sunglasses, light jacket (in the summer) and plenty of memory on your camera. Board our ski-equipped aircraft and enjoy your pilots' commentary about the geological history and local wildlife on your individual headset. Continue your flight above Talkeetna and over the river systems of the Susitna valley as you enter into an incredible landscape of icefalls, glaciers and snow peaks. You'll be awed by the Great Gorge of the Ruth Glacier, filled with a 4,000 foot thick river of ice, making this one of the deepest gorges in the world. Travel further into the range to explore the seven major glaciers that blanket the southside of the Alaska Range. Add a glacier landing onto your trip for a highlight of your Alaska vacation. This will add 30 minutes onto your trip time for this chance to bask in awe inspiring scenery.

It would be hard to overstate how incredible this trip was. My boyfriend (visiting from Massachusetts) and I (living in Kenai, Alaska) keep saying it was the coolest thing we've ever done. Pilot Clay was kind and enthusiastic, and the views were out of this world. Best part was we got to land on the glacier, which we hadn't even signed up for, since the weather was so good. An experience so wonderful it was truly out-of-body. Would pay twice the price ($250) for how good it was. And I definitely recommending going when we did — in the off-season, cold but not too cold, lots of snow on the mountains. 10/10!

We were unable to fly to Denali, after cancelling twice due to weather, and were offered a flight south over the Knik glacier and Prince William Sound. Our pilot put us at ease, and gave us an incredible and smooth flight. We got to see the mountains and glaciers from a new perspective, it was an awesome experience of beautiful terrain and water. Even thought we didn't get to Denali, this was SO worth it!

Leighan, our pilot, was awesome. She's from Fairbanks and has a lot of knowledge about the area and wildlife. The views were fantastic. I've posted some pictures but they don't do justice to the real views. We've gone on multiple trips in the summer with Talkeetna Air, including glacier landings which were equally awesome but our destination to an Iditarod Checkpoint during the race was something we'll never forget. Talkeetna Air didn't an outstanding job from the 1st time we came to south central Alaska and we've loved every trip. We booked the tour in advance so we showed up 30 minutes early as requested and we were quickly checked in. You have to be weighed with everything you're taking with you but no one sees the weight except the person behind the counter. Once everyone was ready we were taken out to an Otter plane and could pick out the seats we wanted. I asked if I could sit in the copilot's seat (because we'd done this before) and got an awesome view! It was about an hour to the Rainy Pass checkpoint but Leighan told us all kinds of interesting facts about the Alaskan range, the various mountains, rivers and wildlife. She found the Iditarod trail and from about 2000' feet followed it and pointed out teams as we went by. It was really cool. It got better after we landed in Rainy Pass. If you're interested in seeing how the Iditarod really works this is absolutely the best thing you can do outside of volunteering and being part of the race yourself. Leighan was helpful in where to go and had us check in at 12:30 to make sure everyone was OK. Seeing the teams come into the Rainy Pass, check in, take care of their dogs, talk to the vets and answer our questions was unbelievably nice. The only thing that could have made the excursion better is if we could have stayed longer. I highly recommend this trip (and the glacier landing tours)!
