South Face McKinley, a one-hour tour filled with spectacular views of the Alaska Range and Mt. McKinley, including the Don Sheldon Amphitheatre and the Great Gorge of the Ruth Glacier, the deepest canyon in North America.
McKinley Base Camp, office staff and pilot favorite, leads right into the heart of the Alaska Range. In just fifteen extra minutes, you’ll cover the South, East and West faces of Mt. McKinley and all the major glaciers that blanket the south side of the Alaska Range and view Base Camp, where climbers begin their 3-week McKinley journey. All of the uniquely interesting land structures are located on the south side.
On the Grand Denali, along with views of the south side, you’ll see the entire north side, which features the Wickersham Wall, one of the highest vertical rises in the world. You’ll circumnavigate McKinley and witness its dramatic hanging ice glaciers, colorful rock formations and geological wonders. Spend an hour and a half seeing more of Denali National Park than any tour available.
The Summit Flight gives you a bird’s eye view of the Alaska Range. You’ll spend time at higher altitudes during this tour as you view the summits of Denali, Foraker and Hunter, so you’ll appreciate the oxygen-equipped De Havilland turbine Otter.
