Why Talkeetna?
Talkeetna is a quirky, colorful mountain town of around 1,000 residents, famous as the launching point for climbers heading to Denali. It’s the kind of place where the main street is lined with log cabins, breweries and coffee shops, and where you can watch bush planes take off toward the glaciers all day long.
During your free time you can go hiking, rafting the Susitna River, flightseeing over Denali, fishing for salmon, spotting moose and bears, and – if you stay into the fall – catching your first glimpse of the Northern Lights. The Alaskan summer gives you up to 20 hours of daylight, which means your adventures never really have to stop.
