Other Day-Trip Excursions

Kantishna Air Taxi has joined with two lodges in Kantishna, the Kantishna Roadhouse and the Denali Backcountry Lodge, to offer unique Alaska day tours to explore the very best of Denali National Park. Traveling by ground and air transportation, our guests are able to enjoy the best of both worlds!
6:30AM— This Kantishna tour departs from the Park entrance by bus. You will travel up close into the heart of Denali along the 93-mile Park road on the most comfortable buses in the Park. Experienced driver/guides will help you discover Alaska's premier wildlife habitat, from the taiga forest to the tundra. The road's last 30 miles may allow unobstructed views of Denali sightseeing. This Kantishna wilderness tour frequently includes grizzly bear, caribou, Dall sheep and moose. You even may be fortunate to spot a wolf.
NOON— Arrive at the Kantishna Roadhouse (KWT) or the Denali Backcountry Lodge (DBA) for a hearty, home-cooked lunch. You can try your hand at gold panning, relax on the riverbank of Moose Creek, or you can participate in other guided Alaska activities.
3:00 PM— Return to the Park entrance via a 35-minute scenic flight. When weather permits, the 55-minute scenic fly-by will take you to the north face of Denali, then traverse the expansive Muldrow Glacier and follow the spine of the magnificent Alaska Range to Denali Park's train and bus depot. Shuttles are available to take you back to your accommodations. Inquire at your Kantishna lodging beforehand.
