Denali Experience Flightseeing Tour
1h30
About this activity
View the vertical rise of Denali starting at its base of around 2000 fee mean sea level to over 20,320 feet. Witness an 18,320-foot mountain on this flight. Take in the flowing river of the Ruth Glacier, the renowned Sheldon Amphitheater (glacier landings often done here), the Great Gorge with its mile high granite walls - the world's deepest, and the intense blue melt water pools that dot the glaciers.
Include a Glacier Landing: Choose the 1.5 hour glacier landing option to experience landing atop a glacier. You could search the world over and not find glaciers like the ones in Denali National Park. Standing beneath the towering mountains, you realize their immense scale and get a sense of the place that draws people from all over the globe. Imagine standing in a quiet world of snow and ice, hearing an airplane approach and land on the slopes beneath. Your perspective on the size and grandeur of our planet will expand with this experience.

View was beyond amazing! Being able to communicate with the pilot was an unexpected feature of this highlight of my 14 day trip.Unfortunately he couldn't land on the Glacier as planned, but gave us extra air time,plus were refunded some of the cost of the tour. Don't hesitate, treat yourself to this up close and personal experience with Denali.
all we can say is simply stunning the views and narration from the pilot were fantastic. The weather stopped us landing on the glacier but that did not take from the experiance
We had the great fortune on scheduling our excursion on what the K2 Aviation people said was the best day of 2017, so far. The mountain was in full view and the winds were subdued so we were able to circle the mountain and see it and the surrounding peaks in glorious sunshine. We were able to get within 1000 feet of the mountain so it felt like you could reach out and touch it. The glaciers were amazing. We were shown the routes various climbers used to summit the mountain. This was one of those magical tours that we will remember forever.
Mt. Denali by air was fabulous. The air was was so crisp and the view beautiful. Our pilot, Josh, really knew his stuff. We did a narrated bus tour of Denali the next day. Felt we got did it right.
