Flightseeing

K2 Aviation. Adventures in the sky is the name of the game at K2, which has a long and solid history of Alaska flights. Among your options: get a bird's-eye view of Denali Park's famous peaks, land on one of its many surrounding glacier, or land at Kahiltna Base Camp and actually attempt to climb the Great One. A sister company provides standard air-taxi and flightseeing services. 14052 E. 2nd St., Talkeetna, Alaska, 99676. 907/733–2291; 800/764–2291; www.flyk2.com. From $220.

Talkeetna Air Taxi. Check out Denali from the air, then swoop down to a glacier to test your boots. Maybe even land on one. Talkeetna Air is known in the region as the glacier-landing company. Spending the extra dollars to land on a glacier is highly recommended—standing on a glacier next to the greatest vertical relief on the planet compares to nothing else. Talkeetna, Alaska. 907/733–2218; 800/533–2219; www.talkeetnaair.com. From $220.
