Denali Base Camp Charter

It's been a busy spring flying climbers to and from various locations around Mt. McKinley. Today's flight is an easy one: haul a bunch of supplies up to Base Camp on Kahiltna Glacier, then return to Talkeetna Airport (PATK).

A pocket of civilization in a vast mountain wilderness, Base Camp sits at 7,200 feet MSL in the shadow of Mount Hunter to the southeast and Mount Foraker across the glacier to the west. Humorously referred to as "Kahiltna International Airport," it's really just a small seasonal village of brightly colored tents and gear.

Before landing, be sure to lower the skis (press G to raise/lower). A ski plane has no brakes, so land uphill on the flattest area you can find, and taxi to the tents to deliver the supplies to the rangers there. Try to come to a stop facing across any incline, and raise the skis so you don't slide down the mountain!

Navigation

To get to Base Camp from Talkeetna, fly heading 290 degrees across the Susitna River valley, up Kanikula Glacier to One Shot Pass. Fly through the pass at 8,500 feet or higher. Then make a right turn and follow Kahliltna Glacier to Base Camp.

The course from Talkeetna through One Shot Pass to Base Camp is programmed into the GPS (press SHIFT+3 to display). Navigate as desired or as necessary due to weather. Altitude is at your discretion. The Talkeetna VOR (116.2 TKA) is located on the airport.
