Norton Sound
Vast views of the Bering Sea coastline immediately after departing Unalakleet.
Kuskokwim Mountains
Rugged and remote tundra-covered peaks stretching across the central Alaskan interior.
Aleutian Range Volcanoes
Unrivaled views of active volcanoes including Mount Redoubt and Mount Iliamna across the inlet.
Cook Inlet
Visualizing the extreme tidal shifts and glacial silt patterns during the descent.
The right side is essential for volcano spotting. Look for the steaming peaks of Mount Redoubt and Mount Spurr as you cross the water. During winter, the low southern sun creates high-contrast shadows on the mountain ridges, which is spectacular for photos.
Book Hotels in AnchorageTordrillo Mountains
Dramatic glaciated peaks including Mount Torbert and the edge of the Alaska Range.
Susitna River Delta
Intricate braided river patterns where the 'Big Su' meets the Cook Inlet waters.
Denali
On exceptionally clear days, the highest peak in North America is visible on the far northern horizon.
Anchorage Skyline
A great view of the city center and the Port of Anchorage against the Chugach backdrop.
Choose the left side for potential distant views of Denali to the north. In the summer, the late evening sun can be quite bright on this side, so morning flights are generally better for photography of the Susitna Valley and Chugach peaks.
