How is it different than other glaciers, you may ask? No other place has the scale and vertical relief. Denali and its sister peaks dominate the scene to portray an ice age world of flowing glaciers and awe-inspiring scenery.
The National Park Service has awarded Talkeetna Air Taxi a concession for landing on the glaciers of Denali National Park, granting us the ability to land in various locations within the Alaska Range. Your pilot will assess weather, lighting and snow conditions to determine your best landing site. TAT is known throughout Alaska as “The Glacier Landing Company” and conducts more glacier landings than any other company in the world!
All you need to enjoy the excitement of standing among the great peaks is a jacket, sunglasses, closed toe shoes, long pants, and a sense for adventure. We provide the waterproof over boots that fit on over your shoes to keep them dry and snow free. Enjoy the sun, snow, and the unique features of the glacier and make sure you have space in your camera for hundreds of pictures!
A glacier landing takes an additional 30 minutes (approximately 15 minutes on the glacier and 15 minutes for landing and takeoff) and can be added to any flight tour for $125 per person.

A $15 per person entrance fee for the Denali Park glacier landing is due at the time of your flight unless you already have a National Park Pass. This pass will be good for seven days and can be purchased as far in advance as needed. Park Passes are required ages 16+ and free for children 15 and under. If you have an Annual Pass or Senior Pass, it is valid for the Glacier Landing. If you are joining one of the Denali National Park bus trips within seven days of your glacier landing trip with us, your entrance fee is covered.
