The most complete and exciting tour of Mt. McKinley is the McKinley Climber Tour. Your oxygen-equipped aircraft will climb to 20,000 feet for a dramatic view of McKinley and Denali National Park. Feel the excitement only a few mountaineers have experienced: the view from North America's highest peak!
Glacier Landings You will talk about this tour forever! This flight will take you completely around Mt. McKinley. Begin with the McKinley Flyer route and see the south side of Mt. McKinley, including the Kahiltna Glacier, McKinley's famous west buttress, Sheldon Amphitheater, Ruth Glacier, and the Great Gorge. Then fly across the divide to see McKinley's incredible Wickersham Wall, a 14,000 foot continuous rise of rock and ice. Our passengers claim this flight is the highlight of their entire Alaska experience. Touch down for a landing at the Sheldon Amphitheater. Enjoy the stillness of the mountains broken only by the far off rumble of distant rock and ice slides. Learn the history and geology of the area while you take in a bird's eye view of this beautiful wilderness. Make certain to bring lots of film and your sunglasses. Headsets are provided so you can enjoy both music and pilot narration as you soar over the rugged peaks of the Alaska Range. |
