Step into another world! Experience the delight of standing upon the ancient Yanert Glacier on Denali's original glacier landing! Fed from the precipice of Mt. Deborah, which towers over the glacial valley in which you will land, explored primarily by TEMSCO Denali, we invite you to truly encounter the great Alaskan Wilderness. Your tour will begin at our private heliport. From take-off, you will soar over the rolling hills and sharp, jagged peaks of the Alaskan Backcountry as you travel up the currents of the glacially fed Yanert River with your experienced pilot as your guide of the area. And be sure to keep an eye out for caribou, moose, bear, and Dall sheep on the way. Upon landing on the glacier, you will be free to roam the icy terrain. Have a drink of the freshest water this earth has to offer. Take home an ancient rock emerged from the crevices of the massive ice moraines. But most importantly take it all in. Let your mind capture the imagery a camera never could. See the perfect shades of blue, wonder at the towering walls of the mountain surrounding you, and fall in love with Alaska the way it was meant to be experienced.
What to expect:
• 50 minutes of helicopter time with an experienced pilot as your guide
• Spend 15-20 minutes exploring the glacier
Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable. Passengers are encouraged to dress in layers. This should include a waterproof outer shell, gloves, hat, and sunglasses. For all glacier tours, TEMSCO Helicopters encourages guests to bring sunglasses. The glare off the ice and snow is quite bright even if it is not sunny.
NEOS Overshoe brand glacier overboots are provided to ensure a safe walk on the ice. The boots slip on over the present footwear so guests should wear sturdy and comfortable shoes. Complimentary transportation provided from all area hotels and lockboxes are available to store what you do not wish to take with you on tour.
