Kuskokwim Mountains
Dramatic, close-up views of the jagged ridges and weathered peaks that define this remote Alaskan interior.
Interior Boreal Forest
Endless expanses of dense spruce and birch forests that turn brilliant gold during the brief autumn season.
Alaska Range Vistas
On exceptionally clear days, look southeast for the distant, snow-capped giants of the central Alaska Range.
Takotna River Confluence
The beautiful winding approach where the Takotna River joins the Kuskokwim near the McGrath landing strip.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the mountains to the south. Bring binoculars to spot wildlife like moose or grizzly bears in the river gravel bars and forest clearings.

Kuskokwim River Meanders
Watch the intricate silver ribbons and complex oxbow lakes of the Kuskokwim River valley.
Aniak River Junction
See the sharp contrast where the clear waters of the Aniak River merge with the sediment-heavy Kuskokwim.
Tundra Wetlands
A vast, shimmering mosaic of thousands of small ponds and marshy wetlands stretching toward the horizon.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It is the best choice for those fascinated by hydrology and the way rivers shape the landscape over centuries.
