- In Alaska and the Yukon, small planes are frequently utilized to reach isolated wilderness areas as a result of the limited road network and vast natural landscapes. These regions rely heavily on small plane travel as the main mode of transportation. Whether it’s hitching a ride on a bush mail plane that delivers local mail or getting dropped off for a remote wilderness float trip, there are numerous opportunities to admire the stunning wilderness scenery from a small plane.
- Alaska and the Yukon are home to a variety of iconic drives, some of which take place on dirt highways connecting unique small wilderness communities. These remote drives are usually only available during the summer season when the roads are accessible. The summer season is a busy time for repairs and road projects, so it’s a good idea to check the Alaska Highway Road report on their website http://511.alaska.gov for any current road projects or extensive future projects.
- When visiting coastal towns, you can take advantage of water taxi services to access hiking trails, kayak drop-off points, and remote fishing spots. If you’re traveling in a group, many water taxis offer charter services with prior arrangement. They can assist in dropping you off at different locations in Alaska and the Yukon, along with your camping gear and kayaks.
