Overview

Denali National Park has skyscrapers of granite and ice instead of steel. Denali, Mt. Hunter and Mt. Foraker tower above the other peaks of the Alaska Range, forming our northern horizon. Cruise up the Kahiltna glacier, right over the climbers’ base camp at 7,200 ft., and wind between these giant peaks catching breathtaking views of Denali and Denali's most popular climbing route, the West Buttress.

The flightseeing only option is 1.25 hours or choose the glacier landing option for a 1.75 hours excursion. This is truly a once in a lifetime experience you will not forget.

Points of interest include:

• The mighty Kahiltna Glacier
• West Ridge of Mount Hunter
• Beginning of the West Buttress Route, the most climbed route on Denali
• “The Great One”, Denali (20,320 ft.), Mt. Foraker (17,400 ft.) and Mt. Hunter (14,573 ft.)
• Mount Frances
• The North Buttress of Mount Hunter - a 4,000-foot granite technical showpiece and world class climbing objective
