The BEST adventure in Alaska…this magnificent flight takes you within six miles of Mt. Denali’s summit. As your flight departs Talkeetna, you begin to see how the last ice age has shaped the land. Moments later you enter a world of rugged high mountain peaks and wide glacier filled valleys. Listen as your pilot describes the natural wonders of Denali National Park. See the Sheldon Amphitheater, beautiful Ruth Glacier and the Great Gorge (the world’s deepest – almost 2 miles from top to bottom). “No visit is complete without this experience!”

Consider an optional glacier landing upgrade on the Sheldon Amphitheater glacier beneath Mt. Denali. The aircraft are equipped with skis, floats, and voice activated headphones. Passengers, each with comfortable window seats, enjoy narration by an experienced pilot-guide highlighting points of interest including geology, wildlife, and history. Flight time is 1 hr and add optional 30 min glacier landing for $100.00 per person*.

If small planes are not for you, then your exciting trip will begin aboard a river jet boat as it whisks you into the heart of the wilderness in comfort. This jet boat is designed to safely navigate rivers that were previously inaccessible. It is glass-domed, environmentally controlled, and has an on-board restroom for your comfort. You will visit an authentic trapper’s cabin and view how trappers lived in “Bush” Alaska at the turn of the century. Your experienced guide will display raw furs from the local area and demonstrate trapping methods. Naturalists will acquaint you with the wildflowers and plants that grow in abundance along the river system and you will learn about the edible plants that were used by the Native Indians for cooking and medicines. As you travel ten miles of river you will have opportunities to view nesting bald eagles, beaver activity, and maybe moose, black bear or grizzly roaming the shore. Wildlife, folklore, artifacts and a panoramic view of Denali in Alaskan river adventure.
