adventure! We recommend light jackets, sunglasses and plenty of film. We
can add a glacier landing to any tour package. We land throughout the
spring, summer, and fall, when weather and snow conditions permit.

| Glacier landings occur in Denali National Park, so a National Park
Entrance Pass is required for passengers who don't already have one. We
sell entrance passes at our office for $10 for individuals and $20 for
families and are valid for entry into any national park for seven days. |

| Sheldon Air Service requires 48 hours notice of cancellation for reserved air travel to receive full refund of any payment directly related to the flight. Deposits for all scenic flight trips are 100% refundable if cancellation is due to weather.
