Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers expansive views of the Nechako Plateau lakes and the rugged southern peaks of the Hazelton Mountains, providing a better look at the vast BC interior wilderness.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
❄️

Telkwa Range

Glaciated peaks south of Smithers that retain snow year-round.

💧

Nechako Reservoir

The vast, intricate water system of Ootsa Lake, part of a massive hydro project.

🏞️

Tweedsmuir Park North

Remote wilderness views of BC's largest provincial park to the southwest.

🏗️

Prince George Skyline

Excellent view of the city and the confluence of the Nechako and Fraser rivers on descent.

The right side is superior for seeing the massive scale of the Nechako Reservoir and the rolling plateau. In winter, the frozen lake patterns are mesmerizing. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side as the sun moves south.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Seven Sisters Peaks

Sharp, snow-capped summits visible early in the flight near Cedarvale.

🛶

Skeena River Valley

The flight follows this major waterway through deep, dramatic mountain canyons.

🌲

Babine Mountains

Stunning sub-alpine ridges and meadows north of the flight path.

🌊

Stuart Lake

One of the largest natural lakes in British Columbia, located near Fort St. James.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Look for the distinctive jagged silhouette of the Seven Sisters shortly after takeoff from Terrace. This side is best for seeing the higher, more rugged peaks of the Hazelton Range.
