Denali Helicopter Excursion
Discover the Backcountry of Alaska! The Alaska Range's peaks and valleys are the setting for this stunning helicopter journey. Soon after takeoff from our heliport along the river, you'll be deep within the Alaskan backcountry.
While exploring the mountains near Denali National Park, keep an eye out below for local wildlife and cast your gaze toward the horizon for the possibility of sighting Mt. Denali, the tallest mountain in North America, or Mt. Deborah, its impressive eastern sister peak.
As you descend on the soft, alpine tundra you will be given the chance to walk outside and enjoy the picturesque surroundings. With the pilot as your knowledgeable guide, take advantage of the chance to learn more about the area's ecosystem, local wildlife, take a flurry of memento pictures, or simply dig your feet into the tundra and soak in the fresh mountain air.
See the true beauty of untouched wilderness on your Alaska helicopter excursion.
