Lake Clark Pass is a Winter Wonderland
The weather has been a bit snowy recently and it's turned our Lake Clark Pass into a winter wonderland.
And we just love the colors and mood and beauty of it all!
Join us on a flight and see it for yourself!

Bush Flying 101: Flight Delays at LPA.
Flight delays caused by Weather or TFR's (Temporary Flight Restrictions) - like earlier this year when President Obama stopped by to walk on a glacier, and again when he was on his way to Dilingham - are out of Lake and Pen Air's control. They don't happen often but we've prepared a couple places for you to kick back and relax when they do.
If it's not pouring or freezing you might enjoy being outside!
Work on your tan, Instagram, or watch the flowers grow. If you'd like to water them, we'll let you!
If the weather outside isn't to your liking, spend time in our waiting room. We've got comfy leather couches, magazines, puzzles, hot coffee, and a large tv with way too many channels.
When your wait is particularly long, our bbq grill can be fired up for an impromptu lunch,or yummy s'mores if Brian is working...
And if you're lucky enough to be here in June or July, you'll also get to enjoy the peonies!
See? Sometimes flight delays are awesome!12/05/2016
Alaska Adventure: The Beaver Pond Loop
So you're in Port Alsworth and you want to walk The Beaver Pond Loop? Great, you'll love it.
It's an easy two hour walk but clearly you'll want to bring a camera!
The trail is pretty easy to navigate and you will come across many beautiful views. If you're here in August you might find some delicious wild blueberries or cranberries to snack on along the way.
Be on the lookout for this relaxing bench just off the main trail. Kick back and listen to the birds,
watch the clouds roll by or soak up the sun. It's the perfect spot to enjoy some peace and quiet.

Chilly Turnagain Arm
The Turnagain Arm on the south side of Anchorage is privy to the worlds second largest tide! So no matter how chilly or down right frozen the rest of the state gets, the Turnagain Arm will not freeze.
However, if you fly over the powerful surging waters during the heart of a winter chill you will see giant ice boulders en masse and often causing log jams in the corners of the inlet, or being pushed right out of the ocean onto it's banks.
This, my friends, is not the time to be out on your paddle board - you will be crushed.
This is the time for a beautiful flight-tour! Fly with us around the inlet and take in the outstanding strength of the wild, untamable ocean. We do flight tours all year round so when you're ready for a beautiful scenery safari, give us a call: 907-345-2228
