Details


Experience the only scenic flight from the Denali National Park entrance area that lets you actually set foot on one of Denali's pristine glaciers. Offered exclusively by Fly Denali, an official National Park Service concessionaire, this remarkable tour departs from Healy River Airport and takes you soaring over 80 miles of untouched wilderness inside Denali National Park.


With 100 minutes of flight time, the sights come one after another. Marvel at glacial erratics, the vivid Polychrome Mountains, and sweeping views of the legendary Muldrow and Ruth Glaciers before laying eyes on the High One, Denali itself, formerly known as Mount McKinley.


Then the adventure shifts into another gear entirely. Descend into the Great Gorge of the Ruth Glacier, the world's deepest gorge, where the Ice Age comes dramatically to life. Thread between the towering rocky cliffs of the Moose's Tooth and Mount Dickey, passing over deep crevasses on your final approach into the Ruth Amphitheater. Thanks to our expert pilots, your glacier landing is smooth, safe, and unforgettable.

One of the best experiences in my life

Flew with Eric to view Denali and a glacier landing. Eric was incredibly skilled and kept us amused and informed. Glacier landing was in full view of Mt Denali, not just a peak in the distance. Highly recommend Fly Denali! One of the best experiences in my life.

The Glacier Landing was awesome

Did the Denali Flight today which absolutely exceeded my expectations. The Glacier Landing was awesome and we had plenty of time for photos and playing in the snow. Special shout out to our Pilot Brandy who got us right up close and personal with the awesome Alaska Range.
