Description

Journey into the air for breathtaking views of Denali National Park & Alaska’s rugged landscape. This 150-mile Denali Express Flight takes you deep into the heart of this iconic national park for views of Denali itself, the tallest mountain in North America! With approximately 45 minutes in the air, this is among the best Denali flight tours for seeing the beauty of this park! And if you’re lucky on a clear day, you may just see it’s crowning jewel. You’ll venture past colorful tundras, granite faces, massive glaciers, and other Alaska Range mountains. With just 6-8 passengers per plane, everyone has a window seat, leaving you uninterrupted views throughout the entirety of the flight.

Your Denali Express Flight begins with convenient pickup from local lodgings & transportation to a private airstrip just outside of Denali National Park. Here, you’ll receive a safety briefing and have the opportunity to store any belongings you won’t be bringing on the flight. Upon takeoff in the 6-8 passenger plane, you’ll immediately be greeted by views of the scenic tundra, snaking rivers, and soaring peaks in the distance. As you continue to fly, you’ll find yourself gazing upon the vivid Polychrome and Cathedral Mountains and glacial water as it flows in the rivers below you.

Throughout the duration of your Denali Express Flight, the pilot will keep you informed and entertained with knowledge about the area and the landmarks you are seeing outside your window. You’ll approach within 5 miles of Denali itself, for a chance at views of the massive mountain. Approaching from the north, you’ll have the chance to gaze at bright blue crevasses and gravel overlays of glaciers snaking through the valleys of Denali National Park. Keep a particular eye out for Muldrow Glacier, this is the longest glacier on the north side of the Alaska Range! Easily one of the most scenic and cost-effective Denali flight tours, you’ll want to book your seats early on this one for an iconic experience.
