Alaska Flightseeing
Tours
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
