Flightseeing from Talkeetna of McKinley

Talkeetna Flightseeing Tours of Mt McKinley

A short way of the Parks Highway (Hwy 3) is the quaint town of Talkeetna. The side trip is well worth it. Visually untouched by modernity, Talkeetna boasts incredible panoramas of the south side of the Alaska Range, a historical downtown area, a vibrant music, arts, and theatre scene, and access to dozens of once-in-a-lifetime activities. It is world-famous as the climbing headquarters for Mt McKinley and the Alaska Range.

 

A flightseeing tour from Talkeetna with Fly Denali, Inc brings you up close to the highest peak in North America, and past hundreds of unclimbed peaks and unexplored glaciers in the Alaska Range. See the deepest gorge in the world and the highest vertical rise in the world as you experience the splendor of Denali National Park from the air. Your experienced pilot will narrate your flight with history, geology, and local lore, and everyone gets a window seat.

Your safety is our primary concern, so all flights and routes are weather-dependent.
