Things to do in Talkeetna
Talkeetna is a small, historic town where the Susitna, Chulitna and Talkeetna rivers meet, about 115 miles north of Anchorage. It is the traditional jumping-off point for climbers attempting Denali, North America’s highest peak, and the National Park Service’s Talkeetna Ranger Station handles their permits and briefings. The town’s air taxi operators fly climbers to the Kahiltna Glacier base camp and carry visitors on flightseeing trips around the mountain, and tourism, river guiding and fishing make up most of the local economy.
