Recently, I got to spend a few days in Anaktuvuk Pass for work. The flight up to AKP was like jumping straight from fall to winter. We left Fairbanks, full of fall colors.....
And flew into snow covered peaks....
After a busy day of visits, we enjoyed an amazing sunset. It was the kind of view that makes you take a deep breath and stand in awe.
The snow only comes half way down the mountains now, but by the time I go back in a few months I'm sure it will be on the ground!
A lot of people ask, "how can you fly in small planes all the time?" My response is that you are more likely to die in a car wreck than a small plane, and I would rather be in a plane because I get to see this..
I left the sound on the video, so that you can get the full effect of what it is like riding around in a grand caravan over the Brooks Range. I did speed up the video a little though, Caravans don't fly that fast!
