Kuskokwim River
The primary water artery of the region, showing its wide, silty channel as you approach McGrath.
Oxbow Lakes
Perfectly formed horseshoe lakes created by the river's historical path shifts.
Alaska Range Vistas
On exceptionally clear days, the distant snowy peaks of the Alaska Range are visible to the east.
McGrath Settlement
A bird's-eye view of the isolated community located at the confluence of the Kuskokwim and Takotna rivers.
Sit on the right side for the best lighting during morning flights, which highlights the texture of the wetlands. Look for moose in the marshy oxbow lakes during late summer or fall when the foliage changes color.

Takotna River
View the northern tributaries that feed into the Kuskokwim basin.
Boreal Expanse
Infinite stretches of black spruce and birch forests typical of the Tanana-Kuskokwim lowlands.
Takotna Foothills
Low-lying hills providing a rugged contrast to the river valley flats.
Watch for the transition from the Tatalina foothills into the flat river basin. Since this is a very short flight, keep your window shade up from the moment of taxi to capture the scale of the wilderness.
