 As most people know Mount Denali (also known as Mount McKinley)
is the tallest mountain in North America at 20,320 Feet and a
must see for anyone visiting Alaska. It isn’t necessary
to make the long 10 hour drive from Homer to Talkeetna. We can
have you there in less than an hour and a half. The flight there
is half the attraction. You will fly North along the shores of
Lake Clark National Park or the Kenai Peninsula passing giant
volcanoes and glaciers along one of the most scenic coastlines
of Alaska. In Talkeetna you will take a short break before departing
on a Denali Mountain tour including a landing on a glacier.

You'll fly over the lush Susitna Valley and enter the ice
age world of the Alaska Range. See Mt. McKinley and the Ruth
Gorge, the deepest in the world and filled with a 4,000 foot
thick river of ice. Experience the Don Sheldon amphitheater
surrounded by Granite peaks and cascading ice falls. Your pilot
narrates the tour, pointing out wildlife and geological interests.
Base Camp McKinley
Flight Tour
 Fly over the longest glacier in Denali National Park, the
45 mile long Kahiltna glacier, to see where climbers begin
their ascent of McKinley. As you approach the climber base
camp, you will fly between McKinley’s two sister peaks:
Mt. Hunter at 14,500' and Mt. Foraker at 17,400'. The famed
West Buttress will be in full view and you may see climbers
who have come from all over the world to challenge the mountains
of the Alaska Range.
