Cleveland Peninsula
Stunning views of the jagged ridgelines and untouched temperate rainforest slopes of the Alaskan mainland.
Behm Canal Junction
Watch for large cruise ships navigating the deep fjord entrance at the mouth of the Behm Canal.
Thorne Bay
An aerial perspective of the historic logging camps and remote coastal settlements tucked into the bays.
Klawock Mountains
The dramatic approach features the limestone-heavy mountains and karst landscapes surrounding the Klawock area.

Ketchikan Waterfront
Detailed views of the cruise ship docks and colorful Creek Street shortly after takeoff from the airport.
Annette Island
Visibility of Metlakatla, the only Indian Reserve in Alaska, situated on the nearby island to the south.
Clarence Strait
A major maritime corridor where you can often spot humpback whales and Alaska Marine Highway ferries.
Prince of Wales South
Views of the sprawling southern forests, hidden alpine lakes, and the jagged peaks of the southern island range.
Sit on the left if you want to see the city of Ketchikan as you depart. This side is better in the early morning as the sun is positioned behind the aircraft, illuminating the southern straits and islands with a warm, clear light.
