Search flights from KTN to WRG
Cleveland Peninsula
A jagged, mountainous finger of the mainland characterized by steep slopes and deep, hidden fjords.
Stikine Icefield
On clear days, look northeast to see the distant, massive glaciers flowing from the high mainland peaks.
Ernest Sound
A pristine waterway that offers views of the entrance to the remote Bradfield Canal wilderness area.
Wrangell Harbor
A detailed aerial perspective of the historic fishing town and its bustling harbor during the final descent.
This is the best side for mountain enthusiasts. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the scale of the Cleveland Peninsula against the Stikine Icefield. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the mainland peaks. Watch for whales in Ernest Sound during the late spring and summer months.

Sit on this side for expansive views of the outer islands. During morning flights, the sun behind the plane highlights the deep greens of the rainforest and provides a silvery reflection off Clarence Strait. Keep an eye out for logging roads and remote camps on Prince of Wales Island.
