Search flights from SNP to ANC
St. George Island
Shortly after takeoff, look south to see the sister island of the Pribilof group.
Augustine Volcano
A nearly symmetrical island volcano rising directly out of the waters of the lower Cook Inlet.
Katmai National Park
The rugged mountains and volcanic landscapes of the Alaska Peninsula, famous for its brown bears.
Kenai Peninsula
The dramatic, fjord-carved coastline and the Kenai Mountains visible across the Cook Inlet.
Turnagain Arm
A stunning glacial fjord with high tide bores and steep mountains on the final approach into ANC.
The right side is generally superior for seeing the chain of volcanoes along the Alaska Peninsula. Watch for the 'Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes' area as you cross the mainland. During winter months, this side catches more sunlight, making the snow-covered peaks glow during the midday hours.

The deep blue, often mist-covered waters of the Bering Sea dominate the first half of the journey.
Mt. Redoubt
An active, glaciated stratovolcano in Lake Clark National Park reaching over 10,000 feet.
Mt. Iliamna
A prominent snow-capped peak known for its persistent fumarole activity visible on clear days.
Lake Clark National Park
A wilderness of turquoise lakes, jagged peaks, and lush river valleys north of the flight path.
Susitna Valley
As you descend into Anchorage, the vast river valley stretches toward the distant Alaska Range.
Sit on the left if you want to see the massive volcanoes of the northern Aleutian Range up close during the descent. Morning flights often provide the best lighting for the western mountains, and on rare, perfectly clear days, you may catch a glimpse of Denali to the far north.
