Denali-Talkeetna Area
The Gateway to Denali National Park
Denali-Talkeetna Area
Talkeetna is a quaint little town located about halfway between Anchorage and Denali National Park. You have some of the best views of Denali from here and it is considered the ‘Gateway to Denali’. Besides flightseeing and jet boat tours there are great lodging and dining options in and around Talkeetna.
More and more people choose to stay in Talkeetna and visit Denali National Park by air instead of driving all day along the only road into the park in a school bus. If your travel plans take you to Talkeetna, we have some incredible options for you.
We are the only company offering tours to the famous Historic Sheldon Mountain House. Envisioned by Don Sheldon, arguably Alaska’s greatest bush pilot ever, the Mountain House is located in a spectacular setting at the base of Denali, North America’s highest mountain. This is a unique and very exclusive option and we are very excited to share it with you.

Summer Sled Dog Cart Ride
Combine a helicopter tour with views of Denali and mushing your own team of huskies for an exhilarating trail ride in the Talkeetna / Denali area. This is a great land based cart tour option.
Helicopter/Jet Boat Combo
