Search flights from BET to MLL
Kuskokwim Meanders
Intricate river bends and ancient oxbow lakes visible shortly after leaving Bethel.
Yukon River Basin
The massive scale of one of North America's longest rivers becomes apparent during the descent.
Marshall Village
A great view of the community perched on the hillside above the Yukon River during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun is behind you, illuminating the silver ribbons of the rivers. Watch for the dramatic transition from the Kuskokwim basin to the Yukon basin, which is clearly visible from this elevation.

Thermokarst Lakes
Dozens of small, perfectly round lakes formed by melting permafrost dot the landscape.
Pilcher Mountain
Rising from the flat delta, these peaks provide a rare vertical contrast near Marshall.
Seasonal Tundra
A vibrant carpet of arctic flora that shifts from bright green in summer to deep crimson in autumn.
Sit here if flying in late August or September to see the tundra's fall colors. Keep an eye out for moose in the marshy areas near the small lakes. This side avoids direct glare during afternoon flights heading northwest.
