Backcountry Photo Excursion

Discover True Wilderness and Capture Epic Vistas of Endless Mountains!

With only 10% of the entire state of Alaska accessible by road, we are proud to offer a premier helicopter-access photography excursion. Soar to a peak on Mt. Fellows where we will land in a remote location with 360° views of the Alaska Range. The landing area is broad and offers the opportunity for walking around or the more adventurous traveler may hike up the ridgeline. We will have over 2 hours for personalized photo instruction. This is a unique opportunity to experience the wilderness of Denali and take your time to compose the perfect shot.

What to Bring

• Weather can change quickly in Denali so bring an extra layer and a raincoat.
• Comfortable shoes are recommended – there will be walking on variable terrain.
• Don’t forget your camera, lenses, and extra battery! We provide tripods & filters.
• Bring water. 

Activity Level

Activity level is moderate. You will be flown with your guide and land on the rolling tundra of the Alaska Range where you will photograph with your guide for 2+ hours. There are no trails, and the tundra is uneven terrain which can be challenging. Comfortable and supportive shoes are recommended. Please be prepared, there will not be comfortable places to sit for the duration of the excursion and the helicopter may be challenging to get in and out of.
