We are now really getting into the spirit of Alaska! We are visiting Denali & Mount McKinley; but we are doing it by air! What a great way to see the magnificent peaks of the Alaska Range. We see wildlife, glacier filled valleys, rugged peaks, and towering mountains. All from the comfort of our very own airplane flight. Some flights even land you on a glacier and you can experience first-hand what it's like to walk on a glacier. Flights often leave from Talkeetna, Alaska. We boarded the small plane for a very beautiful and exciting flight! This was one of our highlights of our Alaska tour!

The Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (IATA: ANC, ICAO: PANC, FAA LID: ANC)[2] is the major airport in the state of Alaska located 4 nautical miles (7 km) southwest of downtown Anchorage. Fairbanks and Juneau are the next busiest airports. Anchorage traffic peaks during June, July and August when passenger numbers are twice as high as between October and April. Some of the most popular destinations in Alaska are: Anchorage, Denali Park, Fairbanks, Seward, and Talkeetna. We have placed links to Priceline.com on this page so you can arrange your flights into and out of the various places in Alaska; as well as hotels, and rental 4 wheel drive vehicles; when visiting this beautiful State. Priceline.com can also arrange very nice Alaska Cruises; which we highly recommend. Cruises are usually taken during the warm late spring through early fall seasons, due to the freezing temperatures of the winter.
