Aerial View of The Alaska Mountain Range
Flying high over the Alaskan Mountain Range is one of the most jaw dropping views we have ever witnessed.It was exciting to see Mount McKinley; North America’s highest mountain, up close and personal.
Mount McKinley, Flight over Denali
The very first excursion we took on our Alaskan Twitter Cruise was a flight over the North Face of Mount McKinley. Known by it’s native name of Denali in Alaska, Mount McKinley is the highest peak in North America. We flew with Fly Denali in Talkeetna and enjoyed bonding with our fellow twitterers on this Follow Me At Sea Twitter Trip.
Alaska’s Denali National Park, Pioneer in Conservation
Taking part in the Follow Me At Sea Press Trip presented by Princess Cruises, we had access to every tour and excursion that anyone could imagine taking part in. We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to take part in dream adventures such as flights over Mount McKinley, Helicopter rides over the Juneau Ice Field and racing through the inside passage of the Tongass National Forest, but we also had the chance to learn about the history of America’s most exciting state. One of the most informative and interesting trips that we took was a bus ride through Denali National Park.

Alaska itself is an amazing place. Great wildlife, a never ending list of adventures and views like this. Denali National Park is over 6 million acres of wilderness and is home to Mount McKinley the highest peak in North America
Exploring Alaska’s Tri Valleys by ATV
We have had a jammed packed itinerary here in Alaska. Three days into our trip and we have already been on the river boat, panned for gold, took a scenic flight over Mount McKinley, enjoyed a history tour of Denali National Park and rode the Midnight Express from Fairbanks to Denali. Watching the Alaskan scenery is a thrill in itself, but today’s adventure takes us on an ATV tour with Black Diamond ATV Adventures.
Flying Over Mount McKinley
Whether you are going to Alaska on a Princess Cruise or traveling independently you have to splurge and get yourself on a flight to see Mount McKinley. We arrived in Denali to the Denali Princess lodge and started our true Alaskan adventure today. We were in for a bumpy ride as the wind was bursting. Originally we had a tour planned to land on the Mount McKinely’s glacier, but the weather wasn’t cooperating today and our flight was changed to a fly over with the possibility of landing.
