Denali National Park has skyscrapers of granite and ice instead of steel. Denali, Mt. Hunter and Mt. Foraker tower above the other peaks of the Alaska Range, forming our northern horizon. Cruise up the Kahiltna glacier, right over the climbers’ base camp at 7,200 ft., and wind between these giant peaks catching breathtaking views of Denali and Denali's most popular climbing route, the West Buttress.
The flightseeing only option is 1.25 hours or choose the glacier landing option for a 1.75 hours excursion. This is truly a once in a lifetime experience you will not forget.
