Overview

Talkeetna 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 above and Denali's most popular climbing route, the West Buttress Route below.
• The mighty and stunning Kahiltna Glacier (2 miles wide and 45 miles long)
• 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 formally known as “Bergchen,” German slang for “Little mountain”
• The North Buttress of Mount Hunter  - a 4,000-foot granite technical showpiece and world class climbing objective

If you do only one thing in AK, put this at the top of the list. QA once in a lifetime "bucket list" item for sure. The landing on Ruth's Glacier was fantastic. The de Havilland Otter was awesome! Our pilot David, was top notch! I can't say enough good things about K-2!

Took the first flight out at 8. Pilot (Riley?) was skilled and very accommodating. It’s cold up there, so layer. The bowl we landed in was stunning!

INCREDIBLE!!! We had booked the summit tour originally but it couldn't go because of clouds. They moved us (with our approval) to a Denali Flyer tour departing at the same time. It was probably one of the most amazing experiences of my life!! Truly breathtaking. Worth every single penny.

Beautifully efficient and satisfying organisation. Please be informed that the reliability of experiencing the glacier landing is not particularly strong; there is plenty of reliance on the weather at bay. Our pilot was advanced in his profession, and ensured that we were well informed of the history of the local environment. The views and atmosphere were remarkable- an excellent experience i would strongly recommend.

The trip was cancelled unfortunally because of the weather. Now we are waiting for the whole refund. They said that it would probably take more than 7 days, maybe 14 days to pay the money back. Ridiculous. It took me 2 minutes to pay you.
