The Denali Flyer Flightseeing Tour departs from Talkeetna with check-in at K2 Aviation 30 minutes before the scheduled departure. After a safety briefing, passengers board the aircraft for a two-hour flight over the Alaska Range. The flight includes a scenic route over the Kahiltna Glacier, which is two miles wide and 45 miles long, flying directly above the climbers’ base camp at 7,200 feet. The plane follows the West Buttress Route, the most climbed route on Denali, offering views of Denali, which rises to 20,320 feet, as well as Mount Foraker at 17,400 feet, Mount Hunter at 14,573 feet, and Mount Frances, formerly known as Bergchen. Passengers also see the North Buttress of Mount Hunter, a 4,000-foot granite climbing area, and the West Ridge of Mount Hunter. The flight continues east to view the Ruth Glacier and its flowing river, the Sheldon Amphitheater, the Great Gorge with its mile-high granite walls, and blue meltwater pools scattered across the glaciers. Each passenger is guaranteed a window seat and receives live commentary from the pilot through provided headsets. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included for accommodations within six miles of the Talkeetna State Airport. Flight video is available for purchase but is not included, and gratuities are not covered.
