Talkeetna Travel Guide

Launch from the historical village of Talkeetna on a relaxing guided float tour on the Susitna River. Weather permitting, this tour offers extensive views of Denali as well as glacial valley vistas. Keep an eye out for bald eagles, bear, and moose on the river's edge.
Join Talkeetna Travel and fly directly onto snow-covered glaciers in ski-equipped, fixed-wing airplanes as you explore the glaciated Talkeetna area. Climbers and naturalists give presentations on the glaciated mountain environment.
Denali Trekking Company's seven-day trek through the Talkeetna Mountains emphasizes Leave No Trace camping techniques. It's an important part of traveling through the fragile alpine zones. While you learn, you'll also get to check out jagged peaks, glorious lakes, and maybe even a Dall sheep, caribou, or grizzly bear.
Talkeetna Travel's trip on the lower end of the Talkeetna River is a soft adventure rafting tour designed for all age groups. See spectacular vistas of the Alaska Range and Denali. Look for bears, eagles, fish, beavers, moose, fox, and waterfowl during this float.
Stop to visit two active Bald Eagles' nests, see beaver dams, and look for bear tracks.

Now, not entirely voluntarily, Talkeetna finds itself enveloped in that boom. Read More
