  • Join a local pilot for an hour-long flight over the south side of Denali National Park, and see a sublime icy world
  • Look down upon the Great Gorge of Ruth Glacier, trace the Talkeetna river, and see Denali mountain up close
  • Fly past the Don Sheldon amphitheater, a mountain house atop Ruth Glacier, and see blue meltwater pools and icefalls

Alaska has more pilots per capita than the rest of the US. Flying is a way of life here, due to the vastness of the land and lack of road systems.

You too can get in on the action by hopping into a plane and following the Talkeetna river system across the Susitna Valley. Fly past icefalls, glaciers, and the imposing Denali mountain. See the Great Gorge of Ruth Glacier, mile-high granite walls filled with a 4,000-foot thick river of ice, and the deepest canyon in North America. Unforgettable.

  • Show your smartphone ticket at the Talkeetna Air Taxi Office at Talkeetna State Airport or at your pick-up
  • You must be at the airport 45 minutes prior to departure for your check-in and safety briefing
  • Due to the dynamic weather changes in the Alaska Range, cancellations cannot be notified in advance
