Description
Embark on a tour of Denali that covers more of the Alaska Range than any other. Fly above the many faces of North America's tallest mountain.
Explore Denali on a thrilling flight from Talkeetna. Marvel at an immense glacier, see stunning landscapes, and soar through the air.
Upon checking in at a unique Alaskan log cabin, be given a weather and safety briefing and then board a high-wing, single-engine aircraft for the flight tour of a lifetime. Let the pilot take you on a journey into the heart of the Alaska Range.
Just when you think you've seen it all, be flown through 1 of 2 passes on either side of Denali. Emerge on the north side of the range to see a flattened tundra landscape stretching out before you.
As your pilot turns the plane around to go back to the south side of the range, there it is, the Wickersham Wall: the 13,658-foot vertical North face of Denali.
Add a glacier landing to your flight and experience the exhilaration of standing among the majestic peaks of the Alaska Range. Play in the snow, take photos, or just take it all in. Glacier landings add 30 minutes to the total tour duration.
