I wanted to go on a flightseeing trip of Denali when I was in Alaska. I figured that it would be very unlikely since I was booking it months in advance and Denali was covered in clouds about 70 percent of the time. I got lucky and the day that I had to visit was beautiful. We used Talkeetna Air Taxi for the trip. This is one of their planes. The skis are lowered when it is in the air so that it can land on the glacier.

Yeah. I wonder what happens if the pilot forgets to crank up the skids. I was not about to let him, though.

Cool! A buddy of mine flew up to Denali for the day and landed on the glacier.
