Boreal Canopy
Thick stands of Alaskan spruce and birch that define the southern wilderness border.
Kilbuk Mountains
Distal views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks rising to the south of the river valley.
Chuathbaluk Village
A perfect aerial perspective of the small community nestled against the river bank as you land.
The flight lasts barely ten minutes, so keep your camera ready from takeoff. The right side is particularly scenic in winter when the frozen Kuskokwim River creates a stark, white contrast against the dark green forest.

Oxbow Lakes
Numerous crescent-shaped lakes formed by the shifting path of the Kuskokwim River.
Aniak Tundra
A vast expanse of arctic wetlands and mossy plains stretching toward the northern horizon.
Wildlife Corridors
The flat northern banks are prime areas for spotting moose near the water's edge.
Since this is an exceptionally short flight, sit by the window immediately. The northern view is best during the long summer twilights when the sun stays low on the horizon, casting long shadows across the tundra.
