Denali Flightseeing & Glacier Landing

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!”  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. Consider an Upgrade, to add the option to Land on the Sheldon Amphitheater glacier beneath Mt. Denali for $100.00 per person. Flight time is 1 hr. Add .30 min if upgrading to glacier landing.
