Overview

Lift off from a private riverside heliport and soar above the rugged wilderness bordering Denali National Park. Your scenic flight offers the chance to spot Denali, Mt. Deborah, winding river valleys, and roaming wildlife from above.

After landing in a remote alpine zone—normally reachable only by a full day’s hike—your naturalist guide leads a 3–3.5 hour trek across rolling tundra, ridgelines, and expansive mountain terrain. Learn about local flora, geology, and wildlife while taking in views that stretch for miles.

This small-group adventure is tailor-made to match comfort levels and provides one of the most immersive wilderness experiences in Alaska.
