Details
Fly with the original flightseeing company in Denali for a thrilling and awe inspiring journey around the highest point in North America. On this stunning 200 mile flight through Denali National Park, you'll soar among the jagged peaks of the Alaska Range and get within half a mile of Denali itself. Weather permitting, the flight will circle the mountain to reveal every spectacular corner of this majestic peak.
Departing from a private airstrip on the eastern edge of Denali National Park, the 60 to 70 minute flight puts you in a window seat aboard a twin engine plane from takeoff to landing. The views begin immediately and never let up. Braided rivers, wildly colorful ridgelines, and velvety tundra covered valleys give way to pristine snow covered peaks and tumbling icefalls as you climb toward the Mountain. Threading between alpine giants like Mount Mather, Silverthrone, and Mount Huntington, you'll approach Denali at an optimal altitude that puts the true scale of the Denali Massif in full perspective. With more than 40 years of flightseeing experience and a team of highly skilled pilots, no one knows how to find the best views in Denali better than we do.

Pilot Bob would have made the experience memorable
We went with the Peak Experience and boy did that not disappoint. While we did get lucky with the weather for our flight I'm certain Pilot Bob would have made the experience memorable either way, with an abundance of jokes and skillful flying to go around. If you are in Denali and have the time/money for it Denali Air will give you an unforgettable experience.

This was absolutely a peak experience
This was absolutely a peak experience for me during my entire 2-week Alaska trip. The flight was scheduled in the early evening and we experienced Denali in crystal clear weather. The evening flight was great because the sun's rays really brought out the colors in the mountains. Pilot Bob (One O) entertained us with interesting commentary as well. I highly recommend Denali Air for your Denali Park "flight-seeing" experience.

The weather in the mountains is difficult to predict and we rely on a variety of sources to make decisions about flights and educate visitors about flight conditions. We check weather cameras in the Denali vicinity and also rely on pilot reports in addition to more traditional weather sources (radar, etc). The weather in the Park and especially Mt. Denali can be very different than the weather at the hotels/in the Park entrance area. We always recommend that visitors contact us directly to find out the most current weather reports.

Reservations may be cancelled with no penalty 24 hours or more prior to flight time. Flights may be rescheduled, as needed, based on availability. Weather cancellations are at the discretion of Denali Air.
