Susitna River Delta
Vast wetlands and braided river channels just north of Anchorage as you leave the coast.
Denali (Mount McKinley)
North America's highest peak dominates the horizon, towering over the surrounding mountains.
Mount Foraker
The second-highest peak in the Alaska Range, standing massive and prominent next to Denali.
Kahiltna Glacier
The longest glacier in the Alaska Range, flowing down from the base of Denali.
Mount Hunter
A steep and technical peak known for its sheer granite walls and complex ridge lines.
This is one of the most scenic flight paths in the world. For the best views of Denali, sit on the right side and book a morning flight to ensure the sun illuminates the south and east faces of the mountain. Visibility is often best in the spring (March-May) before the summer haze or glacial silt clouds the air.

Mount Spurr
View the northernmost active volcano of the Aleutian Arc, featuring a heavily glaciated peak.
Tordrillo Mountains
A stunning range of high, glaciated peaks that separate the Cook Inlet from the interior.
Revelation Mountains
Catch glimpses of these remote, jagged granite spires at the western edge of the Alaska Range.
Kuskokwim River
The massive, winding river system that serves as a lifeline for McGrath and the surrounding bush communities.
The left side is excellent for spotting volcanic activity and the rugged wilderness of the western Alaska Range. On clear winter days, look for the low-angled sun hitting the granite spires of the Revelations. During late summer, the landscape turns vibrant shades of orange and red.
