Hart Ranges
Stunning views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks of the northern Rocky Mountains throughout the mid-flight.
Moberly Lake
A beautiful, deep blue lake situated just southwest of Fort St. John, visible during the descent.
Parsnip River Valley
Aerial perspective of the vast, untouched coniferous forests and the winding river system below.
For the best visibility of the mountain ranges, opt for a morning flight to have the sun behind you. In winter, the snow-covered peaks provide a striking contrast against the dark green timber. Look out for the W.A.C. Bennett Dam off in the distance to the northwest if the sky is clear.

Peace River Valley
Dramatic views of the deep, wide valley carved by the Peace River as you approach the destination.
McGregor Mountains
Rolling alpine terrain and lower mountain ridges visible shortly after takeoff from Prince George.
Charlie Lake
A prominent lake located just north of Fort St. John, usually visible as the plane enters the landing pattern.
The right side is excellent for seeing the transition from the mountainous interior to the flatter, agricultural Peace River plateau. During autumn, the valley colors are particularly vibrant. Keep an eye out for the large industrial sites and logging roads that mark the region's economic landscape.
