Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Talkeetna, AK 99676, USA

You will start your excursion by checking into our log cabin office at the Talkeetna State Airport 45 minutes prior to your flight departure.  Be sure to bring your sunglasses, light jacket (in the summer) and plenty of memory on your camera.

Board our ski-equipped aircraft and enjoy your pilots' commentary about the geological history and local wildlife on your individual headset.  

Continue your flight above Talkeetna and over the river systems of the Susitna valley as you enter into an incredible landscape of icefalls, glaciers and snow peaks.  You'll be awed by the Great Gorge of the Ruth Glacier, filled with a 4,000 foot thick river of ice, making this one of the deepest gorges in the world. Travel further into the range to explore the seven major glaciers that blanket the southside of the Alaska Range.

Add a glacier landing onto your trip for a highlight of your Alaska vacation.  This will add 30 minutes onto your trip time for this chance to bask in awe inspiring scenery.

The professionalism of the staff, crew & pilots at Talkeetna Air Taxi is top notch. When the day before I inquired about the iffy weather, they accommodated me on the next day with an alternate tour & refunded the difference, no questions asked. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fly on a sunny day to Denali & the glacier landing was the highlight of our Alaska trip. Do not hesitate to book with these guys & enjoy the magical experience they offer.

Firstly, 10/10, would recommend! This was the experience of a lifetime. The views were stunning, even though the forecast was for rain and clouds. Our pilot, Clay, gave us an extremely smooth but dynamic and exciting ride through the mountain passes. You should be aware that you may not be able to make a glacier landing given certain conditions, but it was so incredible without landing, and we have no regrets!

Perfect weather day made for a perfect trip! Asa was an excellent pilot and tour guide. Get super safe and comfortable in the plane (not always a thing for me!) Views were amazing and he made sure both sides of the plane saw all. Landing on the glacier was a highlight of the trip. If your flexible, check in frequently to get a good weather day!
