Mount Fairweather Flightseeing
Mount Fairweather
A coastal peak rising 4,671 m, where a small-plane flight over the icefields and Glacier Bay offers the most stunning view.
Mount Fairweather is only about 20 km from the sea, yet it rises to 4,671 m, making it one of the steepest coastal peaks in the world. On clear days it can be seen from tour boats. Gustavus, Juneau and Haines all offer small-plane sightseeing flights over the icefields, the west arm of Glacier Bay and the Pacific coast, lasting about 1–1.5 hours. Mountain weather changes quickly, and flights are often cancelled because of clouds, so leave flexible dates in your plans.
