Talkeetna Sightseeing

Sightseeing Tours & Duration

TALS#01 Denali Flightseeing & Glacier Landing / 1.5 Hours
This magnificent flight takes you within six miles of Mt. McKinley's summit. As your flight departs Talkeetna, you begin to see how the last ice age has shaped the land. Moments later you enter a world of rugged high mountain peaks and wide glacier filled valleys. Listen as your pilot describes the natural wonders of Denali National Park. See the Sheldon Amphitheater, beautiful Ruth Glacier, and the Great Gorge (the world's deepest - almost 2 miles from top to bottom). Land on a glacier beneath Mt. McKinley

TALS#4A Grand Denali Summit Flightseeing Tour / 2 Hours
You will talk about this tour forever! This flight will take you completely around Mt. McKinley. Begin with the McKinley Flyer route and see the south side of Mt. McKinley, including the Kahiltna Glacier, McKinley's famous west buttress, Sheldon Amphitheater, Ruth Glacier, and the Great Gorge. Then fly across the divide to see McKinley's incredible Wickersham Wall, a 14,000 ft continuous rise of rock and ice. Our passengers claim this flight is the highlight of their entire Alaska experience. Touch down for a landing at the Sheldon Amphitheater. Enjoy the stillness of the mountains broken only by the far off rumble of distant rock and ice slides.

TALS#02 King & Silver Salmon Fishing / Full Day
We offer both full and half day guided fishing charters on the Talkeetna and Susitna river systems for all 5 species of Pacific Salmon and Trout. By far the largest fish in the water is the King (Chinook) Salmon. Kings arrive in the Talkeetna area in June and can be caught until mid July. King Salmon average 20-25lbs, however it is not uncommon to catch larger fish in the 50-60lb class! Kings will often run hundreds of yards during the course of a fight, so heavy tackle is the key to landing them. Kings are best fished with spinning or casting tackle, although opportunities to take these monsters on a fly are available during certain times of the season.What the smaller salmon lack in size they make up for in shear numbers. Thousands of Silver (Coho), Red (Sockeye), Chum (Dog) and Pink (Humpy) Salmon can be found in the rivers from mid July until the end of August. These fish average 8-9lbs and can be caught up to 15lbs. These salmon are hard and aggressive fighters willing to bite! Both spinning and fly tackle can take these beauties at any time
