Alaska Flightseeing Tours

Alaska Range wilderness not far from our base

For those who have limited time or who aren't comfortable with a remote wilderness experience, a flightseeing trip is a low impact opportunity to experience the beauty and wildness of Alaska.

In a one-hour air charter flight you can see the rugged, untouched beauty of the Alaska Range. You will experience breathtaking views of the beautiful, ghost-shaped, 13,800 foot (4,206 m) Mt. Hayes which is one of many awesome mountain peaks you will see on your flight. You will also be going over several rugged mountain glaciers including Trident, Hayes, and Black Rapids.

View Huge Glacier Systems from the Air
The Black Rapids Glacier runs for fifty miles (80.5 km) in the Alaska Range following the Denali fault. Along this route you can see several recent geological changes from the magnitude 7.9 November, 2002 earthquake -- one of the 15 most severe ever recorded on U.S. soil. Two of the largest recorded rockslides flow across the 1-1/2 mile (2.4 km) wide glacier and up the other side of the valley. Another interesting result of the earthquake can be seen where the stress of the quake blew the side off of a mountain filling the valley below it with rock scree for three miles (4.8 km). All of this and many other beautiful and interesting sights can be seen on our Alaska Range flight.

Wildlife Viewing from the Air
For those who would like to see wildlife from the security of an airplane we recommend a wildlife viewing flight in the Super Cub. The Super Cub is more conducive for wildlife viewing because it flies slower and isn't as loud as larger aircraft. We have a Granite Mountain flight where Dall sheep, caribou, and possibly bears and wolves can be seen. As you cross the Tanana Valley you can see moose and one of the few free ranging bison herds in the U.S. This flight also offers the opportunity to experience the beauty, vastness, and remoteness of Alaska's wilderness.

Custom tours
Flights can be customized to view such events as the calving of the Fortymile Caribou Herd or concentrations of moose in the fall during breeding season as well as many other wildlife events.

One- passenger flights are available in the Super Cub.  Up to three-passenger flights are available in the Cessna 206.

We would be delighted to show you some of the Alaska wilderness we know best!  Please call us today or email for more information.
