Look for the sharp, snow-capped peaks of the Brooks Range and the tiny outpost of Bettles nestled amidst the vast, roadless expanse of the Arctic wilderness.
While both sides offer world-class wilderness views of the Brooks Range, the right side provides the most direct perspective of the iconic Boreal Mountain and the winding path of the John River valley leading into the pass.
The right side offers the most spectacular panoramic views of the Alaskan Interior, including the potential to see Denali and the Alaska Range on clear days, along with the intricate lake systems of the Minto Flats.
The right side offers superior views of the southern foothills of the Brooks Range and the dramatic entry into the Alatna River drainage area before landing.
