Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge

Vast stretches of untouched wilderness that cover two-thirds of the island, home to the famous Kodiak brown bear.

Interior Mountain Ridges

The flight crosses the spine of the island, offering views of jagged peaks and deep, u-shaped glacial valleys.

Frazer Lake

A major salmon spawning lake where, during summer months, you might spot bears congregating near the shoreline.

Alpine Lakes

Dozens of small, turquoise glacial lakes tucked into the high elevations of the central mountain range.

Spiridon Bay Slopes

High-altitude slopes where mountain goats are frequently spotted grazing on the steep green ridges.

Gulf of Alaska

The deep blue expanse of the North Pacific, often showing dramatic wave patterns and sea foam along the coast.

Sitkalidak Island

A large, uninhabited island separated from Kodiak by the narrow and scenic Sitkalidak Strait.

Old Harbor Village

A remote Alutiiq village visible along the coastline, accessible only by sea or air.

Ugak Bay

A massive fjord-like bay known for whale sightings, particularly humpback and gray whales during migration seasons.

Narrow Cape

On final approach to Kodiak, look for the Pacific Spaceport Complex, Alaska's primary orbital launch facility.
