The Experience: What To Expect on Your Denali Flightseeing Tour
Your flightseeing trip with TAT begins at our unique hexagonal log building in Talkeetna, a small Alaskan town big on character and rich in history located about 115 miles (a two and a half hour drive) North of Anchorage.
After meeting your pilot/guide, you will be seated comfortably in one of our ski-equipped aircraft and provided with state-of-the-art headphones. Everyone has a window seat.
Before entering the mountains the lush glacial wetland mosaic catches the eye. Your pilot will describe the history of the area and point out wildlife and geological features.
As you near the Alaska Range, the unparalleled scale of the mountains and glaciers leaves most speechless: mile high granite faces, ice flows thousands of feet thick and some of the largest peaks in the world.
You may even spot climbers scaling some of these giants. The glacier landing near the base of Mt. McKinley offers an opportunity to play in the snow, hear the silence of the ice age world and breathe the fresh mountain air.
The adventure possibilities in this area are endless, and we would be happy to give some ideas and/or help planning your Alaskan excursion. The rates below are valid during our summer season from May 15 – September 10. Winter rates vary.
