Welcome to Denali National Park & Preserve's Flight Page.
Aircraft density around Mt. McKinley can be quite high during the summer months. Air Tour operators fly out of Anchorage, Talkeetna, Fairbanks, and the McKinley Park areas. For position reporting, the mountain environment has been divided into two "zones", one north and the other south. The north side monitors 122.725, while the south side monitors 122.7. The dividing line between the two zones begins at the toe of the Eldridge Glacier, proceeding northwest along the southern edge of the glacier to Mt. Deception, then southwest along the spine of the Alaska Range to the summit of Mt. McKinley, and on to Mt Russell.
The map presented here is published and available at many locations throughout the state, primarily at flight service stations (FSS), NPS offices, airports, and locations selling aviation fuels. We appreciate your interest.
