McKinley Summit Flight or Standard Scenic Tour? |
|
| |
Flying over McKinley's summit is breathtaking. Circling above the roof of North America, you'll see rugged peaks give way to shimmering glaciers to endless tundra stretching to the horizon. If you're lucky, you may see climbers approaching the summit. Some planes are pressurized; others use oxygen bags above 14,000 feet (and you'll be above 20,000 feet!).
But there are tradeoffs. Summit flights have to gain altitude gradually, so you won't spend as much time at close range to the glaciers down low where the glacial formations, ice blocks, and rock walls are absolutely entrancing. And summit flights generally don't offer glacier landings. |
