Misty Fjords Flightseeing
Exploring Misty
Fjords National Monument is one of our country’s
greatest treasures, and some of Alaska ’s most
magnificent scenery. At 2.3 million acres the
monument is almost four times the size of Rhode
Island. By comfortable floatplane you will
soar over majestic fjords, cascading waterfalls,
jewel-like lakes, and abundant wildlife. Marvel
at sheer walls of granite rising over 3,000
feet, and huge stands of lush spruce, hemlock,
and cedar clinging to snow-capped peaks in this
land of incredible beauty and rugged grandeur.
Window seats are guaranteed for all and
narration is provided. Includes a landing on a
mountain lake.

Misty Fjords & Glacier
Flightseeing
with Landing
This
spectacular air tour combines the unmatched
beauty of the Misty Fjords National Monument
with several of Alaska's most dramatic glaciers.
You'll take in the primitive wilderness of the
Misty Fjords and continue to the quaint border
town of Hyder, Alaska, where the Soule, Through
and Chickamin and Salmon Glaciers wind through
valleys ringed by rugged, often snowcapped
mountains.
Interesting narration is provided by your pilot,
who will communicate with you over your own
personal headset. He'll point out local
landmarks and put you as close as you can be to
one or more of these massive active glaciers,
soaring above a centuries-old icefield
punctuated by deep blue crevasses and imposing
overhanging cornices, and allowing you a chance
to bathe your senses in the awesome beauty of
your surroundings.
And, with the internationally acclaimed Hyder
Bear Observatory not far away, your pilot will
search for feeding brown and black bears as well
as Sitka black-tailed deer, mountain goats and
moose - all part of the wide array of wildlife
that makes its home in this beautiful area of
Southeastern Alaska. A landing on a remote
lake or shoreside provides an additional thrill
and wonderful photo opportunities.
