Flightseeing in Alaska

Planes and helicopters go up where the view is grand

Alaska.com
Alaska flightseeing -- or sightseeing from the air -- gives visitors an extraordinary view of one of the world's most breathtaking landscapes.

Small planes and helicopters take passengers through gorges and passes to fly over Alaska's mountains, lakes and glaciers. Sometimes the flights even land on the glaciers.

So few roads -- so much to see

With so few roads and so much country, taking to the air is a favorite way of residents and visitors alike to see some of the state's most spectacular scenery.

Flightseeing is most popular around these destinations:

Denali National Park
• The northern Inside Passage, especially Juneau, Haines and Skagway
• Prince William Sound and its many glaciers
• The Kenai Peninsula and the
bear-inhabited western side of Cook Inlet

Although these aircraft go where there are no roads, the airports are reached easily by Alaska's visitors who travel by cruise ship, train or rental car.
