Get a taste of the Alaskan Backcountry!
Enjoy this breathtaking helicopter ride through the peaks and valleys that make up the Alaska Range. Just moments after taking off from our riverside heliport, you will find yourself immersed deep in the Alaskan backcountry. As you explore the mountains just outside Denali National Park, look below for local wildlife or keep your eyes on the horizon for a chance to see Mt. Denali, North America's tallest mountain, or Mt. Deborah, her impressive sister to the east. You will set down on the soft, alpine tundra giving you the opportunity to step out and into the scenic landscape. With the pilot as your guide, take this opportunity to explore the local ecosystem, scan for local wildlife, snap a flurry of keepsake photographs, or just sink your feet into the tundra and breathe in the crisp mountain air.
What to expect:
• 15 minutes of helicopter time
• 15-20 minutes mountain landing/exploration only accessible by helicopter
Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable. Passengers are encouraged to dress in layers. This should include a waterproof outer shell, gloves, hat, and sunglasses.
Complimentary transportation provided from all area hotels and lockboxes are available to store what you do not wish to take with you on tour.
