Mount Spurr
Incredible proximity to this active volcano and its surrounding geothermal features.
Tordrillo Mountains
A spectacular range of sharp peaks and massive glaciers directly in the flight path.
Denali
On clear days, North America's highest peak is visible on the northern horizon.
Kuskokwim Mountains
Remote, rolling tundra hills that change colors dramatically with the seasons.
