Flight Over Denali National Park

- In this video, you’ll see some unbelievable views from our flight over Denali National Park.
If you watch this video, you’ll join us for a flight over a completely cloudless Denali. You’ll see the glaciers, mountains, and snowcapped peaks, not to mention the tundra, Denali Park Road, and so much more that make this one of the most remarkable flights around.
Kantishna Air Taxi offers visitors to the remote Denali National Park the opportunity to take a so-called “Flightseeing” trip around the area to gain a new perspective on Denali National Park. But we booked a flight with them as a means to avoid the six-and-a-half hour bus ride out.
We’d planned to fly from Kantishna, at the very back of Denali National Park out to the entrance. It was scheduled to be about 35 minutes, but the weather on our departure day was beyond perfect. And our pilot offered a thrilling ride up to the very edge of Denali’s 20,000+ feet.

Best thing I have seen from a plane is a WONDERFUL sunset
I used to be a flight attendant for BA, and back in 2017, on a flight from YVR-LHR, I experienced the Northern Lights as I was serving the pilots their meals. Without doubt the single greatest thing I’ve seen from a plane
You asked us to share one of our greatest moments . A great moment I had was when we took a flight seeing adventure on a trip in Alaska.
Our flight left from Talkeetna and our flight adventure took us around and up near the summit of Denali Mountain itself. We had made it to the top of Denali (20,310 ft.) and we were circling near one of the summits, as we flew by I saw something that I wasn't quite sure what it was. I looked closer as we flew by and to my amazement, there was a person sitting on the edge of a glacier. They were wearing a blue outfit that stuck out very well being in an area that was nothing but white snow & ice, with thousands of feet below him if he was to fall.
I will remember that moment for the rest of my life.
I’ve heard stories about the legendary Alaskan wind sock. It’s a miracle you both survived.
Wow! Absolutely phenomenal!! Denali is 20,000 feet and you were flying at 10,000! Wow that pilot was great! Loved it Jen and Suzanne!❤️😀
Great video! Did the air tour to Denali and a glacier landing the end of May, ‘23. It was a blue sky, cloudless day. There’s nothing like it. Truly our most memorable view and a reminder that there are things larger than ourselves. It is good to be reminded of that now and then.
the most remarkable thing i have seen is other planes flying below or above you. thats the coolest thing to see.
Spectacular…..You had a beautiful day for that flight. Having lived in Fairbanks for 37 years, I can attest to your pilot’s comment.
The best view I have ever seen is the barrier lakes in a seaplane, then going around at KPHX, and every approach into MSP
Going around at PHX is kinda fun. Once on a flight back from SEA, there was a microburst over the airport, so we ended up going around twice.
Stunning, stunning work from Jeb and Suzanne. My most memorable view? Seeing the coast of Ireland on my first transatlantic flight when I was 15. I knew right then there would be many more flights in my life.
Hey, Jeb! What a flight, I could feel your excitament with the experience. Some nice flights with extraordinary views I've flow were the helicopter tour over the Cristo (at Rio de Janeiro), over the Iguaçu Falls (at Brazil/Argetina border), the approache over the Andes, when you fly to Santiago (arriving from the east). The plane flights right over the Aconcágua Mountain. And also the flights between Europe and Beijing, passing over the Altai Mountains and the Gobi Desert!
Love the mosquito net in gour head what an introduction. Love the bloopers too before the video ends
I don't like this video, I loved it.
As you said How incredible our planet is. You are showing this to the whole world with the clarity of visuals and intensity of voice. I am watching this from the other half of the world.
Mount McKinley is very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Your narration, amazing photography and pacing make these videos hard to put down! Great job.
That flight was epic, despite having been to Alaska I have never been to Denali even though my brother-in-law used to be a pilot there. For best views, there are actually two that come to mind. One was flying Horizon Airlines (Alaska) in a Fokker F27 from Seattle to Spokane and having dinner (yes dinner on a turboprop in the mid-1990's) and traveling over the Cascade Mountains, dinner, and a view (including a forest fire). The other was back in 2016 flying an Alaska red-eye from Seattle to Detroit and over the mid west seeing lighting storm after lighting storm light up the sky below us.
As amazing as this video is the bloopers are my favourite part. This has been a fantastic series great job Jeb and Suzanne!
This has got to be my favorite video that you have done, those view are breath taking. Thank you for sharing!!
Beautiful & stunning views of Denali. Thank you. My most memorable views from the air, Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta and wildlife, both in Africa
Fantastic video Jeb, I hope Travel Alaska thanks you for all the extra tourists your bringing over!
Simply beautiful- thanks.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
I visited Yosemite National Park and the Yosemite Valley in July of 2021 with family, and as we were flying back to ATL, I saw the Yosemite Valley from the air. It was a beautiful sight.
This is incredibly beautiful, Jeb! Must have seen 20+ of your work - train and sky - and this is the absolute best. Thanks for sharing this.
Humans are so puny in comparison.
Just beautiful, thanks for the video ride.
Absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing the experience.
Absolutely amazing!
Simply breathtaking!
Your photography was beautiful. My most amazing sight from the air was on a commercial flight from Las Vegas to Seattle on May 18, 1980. We flew about 20 miles west of Mt. Saint Helen's while she was erupting. The plumb of spewing ash went up to 40,000 ft. The sky east of their was pure black from all the ash.
4:40 Love the abrupt change from flat tundra to mountain range.
Absolutely beautiful video. Thanks for sharing.
Wow what beautiful scenery!
Stunning snow-capped peaks and a heavenly look.Incredibly impressive.
Thanks Jeb. What a day. Thanks for sharing.
Good one Jeb. Thanks for sharing that incredible flight.
I actually did basically the same flight but through a different company on July 30th. Went through Denali Air, flew around the peak. Best flight I've ever been on hands down.
Very nice! The first word I thought of when I saw the views was WOW.
Wow the view is so beautiful!
Wunderful!
Thank you for sharing your video with us.
Truly breathtakingly awesome magnificence!!! Great video! Great narration!
Thank you so much for sharing this!!!
What an amazing video Jeb, stunning views
Just WOW is ALL I can say!!
That's awesome!!!
Best aerial view of Denali..
Excellent video!!!
Alaska is absolutely extraordinary. Plate tectonics at it's absolute best.
I hope you show us more of your videos of inside the park! Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing The Denali National Park flight, it was stunning.
Remarkable and beautiful Mt. Denali is. Thank you for capturing this amazing wonder.
Flying over Greenland was amazing, but nothing like this flight. Beautiful!
Wow. Thank you
The most remarkable thing is looking down on sweet earth.
I love the new videos coming out on your channel
One of my absolute dream destinations!!! Wonderful, Jeb!
Amazingly beautiful thank you so very much ❤️
The best view is the approach into BZN. It’s the best if coming from the south but it’s beautiful all around.
Just flew into BZN last month and the views was stunning!
My most amazing day of flying was 25-years ago in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. Flying ashore onboard a MI-2 Russian helicopter off a Russian Icebreaker into the US base. Considering a decade prior to that they might have taken a shot at us, but later in this cloudless day I chartered one of the 2 helicopters onboard and flew across McMurdo's 'ice filled' Sound to the Dry Valleys - extraordinary geological formations where the air is crystal clear and the surrounding mountains looked like layer cake. We landed high up on a ridge overlooking one of the driest parts of our planet on a pad that might have never been walked on before by anyone. The view was mind-boggling to say the least and the lack of any sounds even more so ...
Breathtaking footage
I love the blooper where you point to the yellow road sign 🤣
Truly spectacular scenery...... but I don't think I could handle such a small plane, even though it's perfect for there conditions
Wow, what a flight, that looked amazing Jeb. You should fear the Alaskan wind sock!😹
I had the pleasure to live in Anchorage for 25 years. Took many trips up to Denali and into the Park. Flew a few times from Talkeetna to the base camp and walked around an talked with several climbers. You were extremely lucky to have the weather you did. Thanks for the memories!! 😀👍🏻❤️
Jeb another fantastic vlog !
Wow!! What a video, amazing footage what a trip! Two incredible things for my own personal flights were incredible views of the Northern Lights and a meteor coming down in the Montreal area both on transatlantic flights.
Wow, the views are just spectacular!!! Worthy of many likes!!
Amazing. You guys got lucky.
On my trip back from ATL to DEN, we all saw a huge lighting show from above! Coolest thing I've ever seen from the air!
Just... WOW 😮🤩
an experience of a lifetime
For me, it is mesmerizing flying over Greenland, especially with a full moon
Wow!
Great adventure!
I was fortunate to do this flight, departing from Talkeetna, back in January. Like you, I had a completely clear day. I think seeing Denali from the air is my most memorable moment on a small airplane! Truly spectacular and beautiful.
The comment about being able to reach out and grab the snow off the mountains is so true! I recently had the chance to fly my first inaugural flight, Harbour Air’s new route from Kelowna to Vancouver. It was my first time on a seaplane and first time flying something so small. Keeping below 10 thousand feet makes for some stunning views when you have to pass through the mountains!
Jeb Brooks, yes, this planet is beautiful, but even more so is the incredible variety in the nation of our own USA.
Seeing the Grand Canyon and flying over the Alps were fantastic experiences.
for me, Flyinging over the Canadian Rocky Mountain's. Always takes my breath away. Also. flying from Vancouver to Campbell River in 2015. Some of the most beautiful ocean scenery I've ever seen from the air.
Nice video Jeb and Suzanne.
Loving the Sir David impersonation, perhaps go for a blue blazer and go full Wicker! ;)
The wilderness impression for the windsock is awesome
My best view ive ever seen from a plane was ironically going over Alaska when i was a kid flying to Seoul from Portland. I was too young to know if I saw Denali or not but I remember looking at the flight path screen as we flew over. The mountain range there and all the snow i could see for miles and miles is an image ill never forget.
I took off and landed on an Aircraft Carrier while in the Navy. What a rush going down that catapult!!!
Excellent view of the Denali. When the people climb the Denali at North America express the same than climb Andes mountains at South America like Aconcagua, Mercedario, Ojos del Salado, Llullaillaco
I’m 12 years old, love flying, and take flight lessons on a Cessna 152, 172!!!!
Magnificent! That's all I can say.
Awesome video jeb! Bush flying is always fun--much love
Finally wait is over 👏🏻👏🏻
Alaska is now on my bucket list.
Thanks for the link jeb... Hopefully see you on the rails (perth, western Australia) and yes I have been on the Indian pacific
THAT is one hell of a flight... so jealous
This was one of your best videos ever! Thank you for sharing this incredible flight! Un saluto da Firenze 👋😀
You had an amazing experience! When we were lucky to have an unimpeded view of the mountain, we were told fewer than 30% of visitors to Denali have such a view. But I think it might be more common. I haven't talked to anyone who has been there and not had a clear view. Regardless, the entire of Denali Park is amazing!
I went 2 summers ago for 4 days and none of the days I could even see a spec of it😂😞
Interesting !
What a great video and great videography and stunning views...no better way than to fly in single engine cessna.. my first flight was on a single engine plane my dads class mate is a retired pilot and my best view from the skys was on commercial flight from Birmingham ,AL to SEATAC and seeing Mount Rainer and it was evening it was very cool
Awesome video! I love Alaska!
I know I'm repeating myself here... first of all, what a fantastic video. Now, to repeat myself, Jeb... you really should be a narrator for a nature channel, or travel channel (well, in that case you are) - but on some major network. Your voice is perfect for it, your intonation and emotions is perfect for it... that's my opinion anyway. I could watch probably almost any video that is narrated by you. Also, definitely include your wife! She's quite an addition to the team, if not the leader (I don't know that, but you do!). This was really great.
You asked for our most memorable moments? Mine was seeing Table Mountain, Cape Town from a Cessna 172 at 10,000ft. The mountain is really that flat on top as well!
The most spectacular views I’ve ever experienced from the air was flying down the spine of Kodiak Island in a float plane. It was most amazing scenery I’ve ever seen. It was a clear day like it was in this video so I got extremely lucky. Seeing the spine of Kodiak island from the air is somewhat rare because the weather is often cloudy in the interior of the island.
Hi Jeb. Fantastic video, and views to die for - sounds like you really struck it lucky with the weather that day. I think we've got some stunning scenery here in Scotland (Cairngorms; Ben Nevis etc), but those were breathtaking views of the snow covered mountains. Awesome.
Stunning views! This would be one of those times I'd love to see the unedited footage.
Been to Waikiki a few times, but never as luxurious a trip as your taking!!
Amazing! We just got back from Alaska a week ago. On a commercial flight from Fairbanks to Anchorage we had similar weather. The pilot put us at around 20k and flew us down in between Denali and Foracker. Incredible views.
