Which side of the plane to sit from Venetie Airport (Venetie) to Fort Yukon Airport (Fort Yukon)?

Chandalar River Oxbows
Beautifully preserved abandoned river loops and silver water bends visible immediately after takeoff.
Arctic Boreal Forest
A dense mosaic of black spruce and birch that changes color dramatically during the brief autumn season.
Yukon River Confluence
The massive meeting point where the Porcupine River joins the mighty Yukon River near the destination.
Fort Yukon Settlement
A clear view of the historic trading post and one of the oldest settlements in the Alaska interior.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Look for the distinct color difference where the clear water of the tributaries meets the silty grey of the Yukon River. In winter, the frozen river channels create striking white patterns against the dark forest.

Christian River
A winding tributary that creates complex geometric patterns across the Arctic tundra.
Brooks Range Horizon
The jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Brooks Range are visible to the north on clear days.
Yukon Flats Wetlands
A vast expanse of thousands of small kettle lakes that serve as a premier waterfowl breeding ground.
This side is ideal for spotting the vastness of the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge. Use binoculars to scan for moose in the marshy areas during early morning or late evening flights when they are most active. Polarized lenses will help cut the glare from the thousands of small lakes below.
