An Experience Like No Other: Talkeetna Air’s Grand Denali Tour with Glacier Landing

10/9/2023

A dream of a lifetime came to fruition in July when I made my way from the east coast to the west, and no I don’t mean California. I finally made it to Alaska, the last frontier, and everything was astounding. The wildlife was everywhere, the humanity was quite limited overall thankfully, and the views were out of this world in each and every place I explored. I started in Anchorage as most do, toured around Kenai peninsula, loved Kenai Fjords National Park by far the most, then I headed north to Denali before going east to Wrangell-St. Elias, and finished with a riveting cruise out of Valdez.

Last month I had the unbelievable opportunity to visit Alaska for the first time, and it was well beyond what I imagined it would be. It’s so beautiful, rugged, wild, mystical and magical, and I loved every moment exploring the wilderness, the mountains, the fjords, rivers, and parks. I arrived off the plane, gathered my luggage and set out in a rental car. My first stop was the Turnagain Arm before heading to my accommodation on Kenai Peninsula. The summer light was long, allowing for a mere 3 hours of night, but it really wasn’t all that dark, so I took advantage of as much sightseeing as my tired eyes could handle. From there, I spent the next couple of days exploring Seward and Homer, taking two cruises through the fjords, which was definitely the highlight of the entire trip.

Alaska has been at the top of my destination wish list for as long as I can remember. I always thought perhaps I’d never make it there, because it was a little far, rather expensive to plan a trip, and the possibility of it being too wild and dangerous for me. But over the past year, the stars aligned due to several differing factors and situations. After nearly an entire year of planning, I found myself exploring the Last Frontier with my father-in-law Ken.

A day trip from Anchorage led me to the Alaska Riverview Lodge in Kasilof, Alaska. After our brilliant trip to Seward and boat trip through the Kenai Fjorda National Park and Resurrection Bay, we drove across the peninsula to stay the night at the lodge. The drive over was about two hours from Seward and it was full of beautiful cliffs and forests, and the unfortunate remnants of the Swan Lake fire, which definitely had us feeling sorrowful for the loss of life.

It was a long time coming. For ages, I dreamt of going to Alaska. There was something about the allure of the “Last Frontier,” the wildness, the beauty, the unspoiled natural splendor. Yet, the winters sounded rough, and the distance was always too great to drive to. This year, 2023, the stars aligned and I had the opportunity to visit, touring from Anchorage to Kenai Peninsula, then north to Denali, east to Tok, south to Wrangell-St. Elias range, down to Valdez, then back to Anchorage. What a wondrous trip, it was!

Oh, boy! Let me tell you something… I had the adventure of a lifetime last week in Alaska. Before heading northwest by way of Alaskan Airlines, I envisioned Alaska would be a magical place, but I had no idea it was as special, as wild, as giant, as mesmerizing, and as sacred as it was. I spent ten days venturing around the state with my father-in-law Ken, and he is a wild man at heart who spends lots of time in nature and out west, and it was better than either of us had imagined it to be.
