Overview

This flightseeing tour from Talkeetna offers one of the most extensive views of the Alaska Range. The flight follows Talkeetna’s river systems across the Susitna Valley, leading into a landscape featuring icefalls, glaciers, and snowy mountain peaks. You will fly over the Great Gorge of the Ruth Glacier, a 4,000-foot-thick river of ice, one of the deepest ice gorges on Earth. The route continues deeper into the Alaska Range to reveal the seven major glaciers on the range’s south side, including the Kahiltna Glacier, which stretches 45 miles and is the longest glacier in Denali National Park. The flight also crosses the Alaska Range, showing the arctic alpine tundra on the park’s northern side. The tour lasts between about 90 minutes and 2 hours. There is an option to add a 30-minute glacier landing during the flight for a closer look at the scenery. The tour departs from Talkeetna State Airport, where you will check in 45 minutes before takeoff at the Talkeetna Air Taxi log cabin office. The aircraft is ski-equipped and the pilot provides live commentary through individual headsets. The price includes local taxes, live narration by an expert pilot, and hotel pickup and drop-off for select hotels in Talkeetna (excluding Denali National Park hotels). Gratuities and the glacier landing park entrance fee, if chosen, are not included. Local transfers within Talkeetna can be arranged by contacting the operator. Passengers outside a 3-mile radius from Talkeetna must meet at the Talkeetna airport, located at 14212 E. Second Street, Talkeetna, AK 99676.
