Denali Flightseeing
Circling North America's highest peak by small plane or helicopter, with an optional glacier landing, is the most reliable way to see all of Denali.
Because Denali is often hidden by clouds, sightseeing flights are the best way to see the whole mountain. Small fixed-wing planes and helicopters depart from Denali Park Airport and Healy Airport in the park entrance area. Flights take about 1–2 hours, passing over glaciers, ridges and the area near the summit. Some tours include a landing on a glacier, where you can walk around. Prices are high, and flights may be cancelled or rescheduled in bad weather, so it is a good idea to book a few days before the end of your trip to allow for a later date. Flights departing from Talkeetna are a separate option in a different area.
