It wasn’t hard to feel a sense of #Solitude in the Western Arctic…there’s just not much in terms of civilization up there. Here’s a view from somewhere above Kobuk Valley National Park. #opcSpecialTheme 📸 #alaska #nationalparks #flightseeing #bushplane

Some of my most favorite mountain views have occurred in small planes over #Alaska. Here’s one shot from our 2019 flight into Lake Clark National Park for #MountainMonday, one of the most scenic flights I’ve ever taken. 🏔️ #Alaska #flightseeing #mountains #bushflight #aerialview

It was #green as far as the eye can see during our trip to the Alagnak Wild River in Alaska. ☀︎ #OPCWeeklyTheme #Alaska #flightseeing #NationalParks

This #MountainMonday post comes to you via a July 2018 trip to Gates of the Arctic National Park. I was originally bummed that we wouldn’t be to spend much time on the ground here, but learned that flightseeing by bush plane is probably the best way to appreciate this park anyway. This might have been my all-time favorite day in the national parks. ☀︎ #Alaska #NationalParks #flightseeing
