Yukon River Main Channel
A close-up view of the powerful, silt-laden river that serves as the region's primary artery.
Kaiyuh Mountains
Rugged mountains visible to the east, providing a dramatic skyline for the river basin.
River Sandbars
Intricate, shifting islands and silt deposits that change shape with every seasonal flood.
Nulato Approach
Excellent views of the historic village of Nulato as the plane descends for landing.
This is a very short flight (approx. 15 minutes), so keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. The right side is ideal for capturing the scale of the Yukon's floodplains. Look for fish wheels along the banks during the summer salmon runs.

Nulato Hills
Rolling, ancient peaks that mark the western boundary of the Yukon River valley.
Boreal Wilderness
Vast stretches of black spruce and birch forest that characterize the Alaskan interior.
Khotol River Drainage
A winding tributary that creates intricate wetland patterns west of the flight path.
The left side is best during the afternoon to avoid the glare of the southern sun. In winter, look for the stark white patterns of frozen ponds and tracks of large mammals like moose in the snowy clearings.
