Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the vast Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta and the rugged, untouched Andreafsky Wilderness area.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌲

Andreafsky Wilderness

Breathtaking views of the sprawling protected forest and mountains to the south of the river.

💧

Tundra Ponds

An intricate, shimmering mosaic of thousands of small kettle lakes and ponds across the delta.

🦅

Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta

A massive wetland habitat that is one of the most productive bird-breeding areas in the world.

🌾

Delta Grasslands

Vibrant golden and green tundra vegetation that shifts colors dramatically with the seasons.

Sit on the left for the best view of the morning sun hitting the Andreafsky hills. In autumn, the tundra turns a brilliant crimson and gold, which is best captured from this side looking toward the horizon.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Yukon River Main Stem

Direct views of the mighty Yukon's powerful current and shifting silt bars.

🏠

Pitkas Point

The scenic confluence where the Andreafsky River meets the Yukon near the village of Pitkas Point.

🏔️

North River Bluffs

Low-lying hills and bluffs that border the northern edge of the river valley near Mountain Village.

🚤

River Traffic

Frequent sightings of local skiffs and barges navigating the primary river channel below.

The right side is ideal for spotting local landmarks like Pitkas Point. Since this is a very short flight (under 20 miles), keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff as the river features pass quickly.
