Sioux Mountain

The most prominent local landmark visible shortly after departure from YXL.

🌊

Lake St. Joseph

A massive, complex lake system featuring hundreds of tiny islands and deep blue channels.

🏞️

Pipestone River

Aerial views of the rugged wilderness surrounding this remote Provincial Park waterway.

🏘️

Wunnumin Lake Arrival

A clear view of the remote community settlement nestled on the lake shore during the descent.

The morning sun illuminates the water features beautifully from this side. Keep your eyes peeled for ice-fishing tracks or snowmobile trails on the frozen lakes during the long winter season.

🌲

Boreal Forest Canopy

Dense, unbroken stretches of the Canadian Shield's iconic evergreen forests.

Muskeg Patterns

Intricate wetland swirls and peatlands that create unique geometric patterns from above.

Frozen Mosaic

In winter months, the landscape transforms into a stark, high-contrast white-and-grey wilderness.

Choose this side for evening flights to witness the sunset reflecting off the myriad of small kettle lakes. In winter, this side is excellent for spotting the Aurora Borealis on late-night legs.
