Denali Summit Flight

A lot of people swear to it: the best way to see Alaska is from an airplane, and there may indeed be no better way to get close to the face of Denali. This one-of-a-kind flightseeing operator makes it easy to see up close to the Great One without spending a great deal of time.

 

Each tour, in a twin-engine aircraft, includes a pre-flight briefing with maps of your flight plan. Your pilot-guide narrates the tour, using an excellent intercom system, while you check out the views from your window seat. After all, on flights that hold no more than 9 people, everyone gets a window seat.

 

On this popular tour you will view the north side of the mountain before the south side. On Denali's north side, your pilot can point out the original climbing routes, as well as the Muldrow and Peters Glaciers. During climbing season, you have a good chance of seeing climbers making their way to the top. Then, you’ll have the opportunity to see the sweeping sights of the south side, including the Ruth and Kahiltna Glaciers, Don Sheldon Amphitheater, Great Gorge, Moose’s Tooth.

 

No experience necessary. Most tours suitable for all ages and activity levels. Must be 10 years or older for Denali Summit Tour, no exceptions.
