Walk on a Glacier in the Alaska Range
Denali National Park & Preserve
The rugged Alaska Range is home to Denali, the highest point in North America. For some visitors, a flight-seeing trip over or around "the Mountain" can be one of the most memorable parts of a visit to Alaska. Some companies are also authorized to land on a glacier in the park, letting passengers disembark for a short while.
A World of Ice and Snow Seeing the Alaska Range and Denali from the air is a popular year-round activity. Flight-seeing can be done from the Denali area (which includes Healy, McKinley Village and Cantwell) as well as towns farther away, like Fairbanks, Talkeetna or Anchorage. A handful of companies may land their passengers on a glacier in the park. This is an opportunity to walk in places that, until the start of aviation, were incredibly inaccessible. Glaciers in the Alaska Range are, for many people, the epitome of wilderness. Seeing them from the air is memorable, but setting foot on one often helps people understand the truly massive scale of the landscape.
