All Ages • 1 Hour • The Classic Journey Into Denali National Park

Duration 1 hour

About

Departing from Talkeetna, this classic Alaska flightseeing adventure soars deep into the Alaska Range, carrying you over the Ruth Glacier, the dramatic Ruth Gorge, and towering granite peaks toward the Don Sheldon Amphitheater. Pilots share information via in-flight headsets while you take in sweeping alpine valleys, bright blue meltwater pools, and remote climbing terrain. On clear days the route reveals views of Denali and surrounding summits, and guests who add a glacier landing can step onto ancient ice for an immersive backcountry experience.

Highlights

  • Aerial views of the Don Sheldon Amphitheater and Ruth Gorge
  • Opportunity to see Denali and the Alaska Range on clear days
  • Optional glacier landing for a hands-on backcountry experience
  • Aerial views of Alaska's vast network of lakes and rivers
