Through this concession opportunity, the NPS seeks to ensure that visitors are provided with high quality commercially provided glacier landing air taxi and scenic air tour services within the 1980 park and preserve additions of Denali National Park and Preserve. The Park’s glacier landing air taxi and tour concessioners provide visitors the opportunity to walk in places that, until the start of aviation, were incredibly inaccessible. Glacier landing scenic air tours provide opportunities for inspiration and enhance the visitor’s experience through the sharing of a wide range of information, and glacier landing air taxi services help facilitate key visitor activities, such as mountaineering, hiking, camping, and skiing
