Getting Medieval at Talkeetna Air Taxi



I don't think they had planes back then, but these
folks were able to overlook that small detail and get up to a Glacier!

Dragon Slayer




Local artist Leighan Falley got ahold of some chalk and prettied up our walk... Unfortunatley the Dragon didn't stick around long because rain followed the beautiful sunny day.

Park Service is Considering Raising the Climbing Fee to $500

A couple days ago Talkeetna Air Taxi signed a letter- along with several other flight services and mountain guiding companies- asking Lisa Murkowski and other Alaskan legislators to fully fund the National Park Service budget next year. This letter was composed in response to a comment made by the Park Service Superintendent in May 2009. Park Service Superintendent Paul Anderson stated that Park Service was considering raising the climbing fee for Mt.McKinley and Foraker to $500 in order to cover budget shortfalls.

We strongly oppose this proposal, and encourage others who also oppose it to make their voices heard. You can contact Superintendent Paul Anderson by his address:
PO Box 9
Denali National Park, AK 99755
Or by phone at this number by asking for the “Superintendent”: (907) 683-2294
