Description

This Denali flightseeing tour is the best way to see this iconic peak! The Denali Peak Experience Flight takes you on a jaw-dropping 200-mile flight through the rugged peaks of Denali National Park. This hour-long excursion takes you within a half-mile of the mountain for spectacular views of North America’s tallest peak. Weather conditions permitting, you’ll circle the peak for 360°-views of the historic mountain. Aside from the majestic peak, this Denali flightseeing tour will take you over fast-flowing rivers as they snake through the peaks, colorful & unique tundra landscapes, and other soaring peaks of the Alaska Range. For 60 minutes, you’ll have uninterrupted views of the best that Alaska has to offer. Throughout the Denali Peak Experience Flight, your local guide & pilot will fill your earphones with stories regarding the history of the area & peaks you can see.

Your Denali Peak Experience Flight begins just outside of Denali National Park at a private airstrip. Following pick-up from your local lodgings, you’ll receive a safety briefing before climbing aboard your 6-8 passenger bush plane. From here, you’ll fly for approximately 60-70 minutes through Denali’s National Park’s incredible landscapes. From winding rivers & colorful tundra, you’ll venture into the mountains for sweeping views of Glaciers, peaks, and more. Travel past the Great Gorge & its 5000 ft granite cliffs, the 14,000 ft Wickersham Wall, and multiple massive glaciers. You’ll get intimate views of the glaciers tumbling down Denali’s north side, as well as the Kahiltna, the longest glacier in the Alaska Range. And who could forget about the stunning peaks? This Denali Flightseeing tour includes other mountains as well, such as Mount Foraker, Mount Russell, and Mount Hunter, the three largest peaks after Denali in the Alaska Range. Of course, you’re here for the main event and you’ll be stunned as you circle Denali itself for 360° views of North America’s tallest mountain. Make sure you have plenty of room on your camera roll, the Denali Peak Experience Flight is one you’ll want to remember.
