Experience the Alaska Range from the air - You'll never forget your
McKinley Flightseeing Tour!
Flying
to Denali (Mt. McKinley) is our number one choice for tour options in Alaska!
You will see another world in the Alaska Range; words cannot quite do it
justice - It's something you must experience to really appreciate.
Talkeetna is only 60 miles from the summit of Denali, so it is the premier
airport for McKinley Scenic Flight Tours.
Advance reservations are highly recommended as seats do sell out quickly
in the summer. Flightseeing reservations will be confirmed with a credit card deposit of
$50.00 per person, fully refundable if
the weather prevents flying. Note that each flight tour has a variable price
range depending on which Talkeetna air taxi service has availability.

7-day Pass (*see below)
Add
a glacier landing to any of the above McKinley flights and experience the excitement of landing
near Denali in the Alaska Range!
It makes you feel very small when you stand on the snow beneath the great
peaks. Bring lots of film, this is
an excellent photo opportunity! (Please note that glacier landings are dependent on the season and weather.)
·As of 2005, a Denali National Park Pass is required to land on a glacier
in the Park. A 7-day pass costs $10 per person, or $20 per
family. Passes will be sold at all of Talkeetna's Air
Services. You can also use your pass to enter Denali National Park's
main entrance 3-hours-drive north of Talkeetna, and likewise, if you've
already purchased a pass before coming to Talkeetna, it will be valid for
a glacier landing as long as you fly within seven day of purchase.
Annual Park Pass will also be accepted.
