Grand Adventure

Our Premier Denali Flightseeing Experience

Embark on the Grand Adventure—an immersive aerial journey through the most majestic landscapes of the Alaska Range.

This premier tour is designed for those who seek the full grandeur of Alaska’s mountainous wilderness, from soaring glacier flows to towering peaks. On a clear day, few experiences rival this breathtaking encounter with the crown jewels of the Alaska Range.

What You’ll See

Your flight departs Talkeetna and ventures deep into the heart of the range, revealing some of the most iconic and awe-inspiring features of the Mount McKinley—known for millennia to Native Alaskans as Denali, “The High One.”

Highlights include:

• The immense Kahiltna Glacier, the longest in the Alaska Range
• The dramatic south face of Denali, a towering wall of snow, ice, and stone
• The sharp, sculpted summit of Mount Hunter
• The commanding presence of Mount Foraker, known as “Denali’s Wife”
• A panorama of untamed ridgelines, deep valleys, and countless unnamed peaks

For those seeking the ultimate addition, an optional glacier landing allows you to step out into a world of pure alpine silence—an experience few ever encounter.

An Elevated In-Flight Experience

Enjoy an interactive journey from start to finish. All guests are equipped with premium noise-canceling headsets for clear, real-time communication with your pilot and fellow travelers. Share the moment, ask questions, and enjoy thoughtful narration as you soar over some of the most remote terrain on Earth.

Flight Conditions

As with all Sheldon Air Service tours, safety and clarity are paramount. This flight route operates only under optimal weather conditions to ensure both visibility and comfort—especially along Denali’s dramatic southern face.

The Grand Adventure is more than a flight—it’s your personal window into Alaska’s most extraordinary alpine landscapes.
Immersive. Intimate. Unforgettable
