Flightseeing With Talkeetna Travel
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. Reservations will be confirmed with a credit card deposit of $50.00 per person, fully refundable if the weather prevents flying. |

| Takes you into the heart of the Alaska Range. Focusing on the south side of the mountains you will fly over the Ruth Glacier, thru the Great Gorge, past cascading ice falls and granite peaks to the Don Sheldon Amphitheater. Fly by the south east face of Mt. McKinley. Your pilot will narrate as you fly, pointing out wildlife and geological interests. | |||

You will also fly between the other two largest peaks in the Range: Mt. Foraker and Mt. Hunter. | |||

| Add
a glacier landing to any of the above 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. |
