Yukon River Meanders
Exquisite views of the massive Yukon River as it creates dramatic S-curves and oxbow lakes throughout the valley.
Kaiyuh Mountains
A clear perspective of the distant, snow-capped peaks of the Kaiyuh range rising to the southeast.
Innoko Wetlands
Looking toward the Innoko National Wildlife Refuge, featuring a vast mosaic of ponds and marshy tundra.
Wildlife Corridors
Low-altitude views of the riverbanks where moose and eagles are frequently spotted near the water's edge.
Sit on the left for the best river reflections. In late winter, you can often see the Iditarod trail markers and dog team tracks on the frozen river. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting as the sun is behind you, illuminating the river valley.

Nulato Hills
Close-up views of the rolling, weathered ridges that define the western edge of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
Boreal Forest Tapestry
A dense carpet of black spruce, birch, and aspen trees stretching toward the Bering Sea coast.
Kaltag Portage Path
The historic overland route that connects the Yukon River to the coastal village of Unalakleet.
Permafrost Features
Observe patterned ground and frost-heave formations unique to the subarctic Alaskan interior.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the Nulato Hills are bathed in soft light. It is particularly striking in the fall when the birch and aspen trees turn brilliant gold against the dark green spruce.
