Yukon River
A spectacular crossing of one of North America's longest and most historic river systems.
Mount Foraker
Towering views of 'Sultana', the second highest peak in the Alaska Range, during your descent.
Cook Inlet
Silty glacial waters and coastal mudflats visible during the final approach into Anchorage.

Aerial views of the southern Brooks Range foothills and the winding Kobuk River basin.
Interior Taiga
Massive stretches of untouched spruce forests and remote muskeg characteristic of the Alaskan interior.
Denali
Distant but majestic views of the 20,310-foot summit on clear days as you head south.
Susitna River
Intricate braided patterns of glacial runoff located just north of the Anchorage bowl.
Sit well clear of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Denali. Morning flights provide excellent side-lighting for the mountain ranges to the east. During winter months, this side is prime for spotting the Aurora Borealis on late-night segments.
