Experience the adventure of a lifetime
Bike in the foothills of Denali.
Take off on bicycle from our shop and ride to the heli launch pad. After a short flight over the Susitna river, our helicopter will land in a remote valley at the foothills of Denali where we’ll pedal along historic and current gold mining trails. This ride is mostly downhill, but be prepared for some elevation gain as well. Our ride will take us through numerous creeks where you’re guaranteed to get a bit wet and muddy. You can choose the length of this tour from 10.5 miles to 26 miles. Your support vehicle will meet you when you’re finished riding and bring you back to Talkeetna. This tour is guided and includes lunch.
