Grand Denali Airplane Flightseeing Tour and Glacier Landing from Talkeetna

Grand Denali Airplane Flightseeing Tour from Talkeetna -- This tour covers more of Denali National Park than any tour available. You will circle Mt. McKinley and traverse the Alaska Range twice. There is no better way to view the remote regions of the park. See active gold mines, Kahiltna base camp where the climbers begin their ascent, and the Wickersham Wall of McKinley, the steepest continual vertical relief in the world. Enjoy a wildlife tour on the way back to historic Talkeetna. This tour includes a glacier landing.

Land on a glacier at the base of Mt. McKinley and experience the excitement of standing among the great peaks; the immense scale will astound you. Enjoy the sun, snow and the unique sounds of the glacier. Bring lots of film- this is an excellent photo opportunity.

Your flightseeing trip begins in Talkeetna, a small Alaskan town big on character and rich in history located about 115 miles (a two and a half hour drive) North of Anchorage. Talkeetna is the nearest town to Mt. McKinley, and it offers stunning scenery, colorful people and healthy salmon runs with the accompanying bears! The town has traditionally been the gathering place for mountain climbers, gold miners and wilderness seekers for over 100 years. Talkeetna, Alaska is a 60 mile flight South of the summit of Mt. McKinley.
