Photo flights are different than tours in that there is no established standard path, so to speak, for the flight. It is a discretionary flight on the part of the pilot as to where you will go for the best scenic photos. If you have specific scenes that you want to photograph, subject to acceptable weather and flight regulations, we can go. Since the flight you select is limited to time, your pilot will not go so far that the flight cannot be completed timely. Generally, during these flights on departure you will see such sights as the verdant Flathead Valley, Flathead Lake, Mt. Aeneas the Swan Range, the Jewel Basin with its many alpine lakes, like Pilgrim and Three Hawks Lakes which are classic 'cirques', panoramic views of the Hungry Horse Lake Valley, close-up views of the Stanton and Grant glaciers, Mt. St Nicholas, Mt. Stimpson, Mt. Jackson and other iconic geographical features. If there are specific features you would like to photograph let your pilot know in advance so he can factor it into your flight, providing your intended destination can be conducted within the length of your flight and weather permits it. You should make the reservation clear when booking to alert us.

During this tour on departure you will see the verdant Flathead Valley as we climb towards the imposing Great Northern. We fly right through Bad Rock Canyon past Hungry Horse where you will see panoramic views of the Hungry Horse Lake Valley and the 34-mile-long Hungry Horse Reservoir, panoramic views of Lake McDonald and Glacier National Park, as well as distant views of the largest wilderness area in the Continental United States. As we approach Great Northern, we fly within hundreds of feet of Stanton and Grant Glaciers all the while you will see the imposing Continental Divide to the east. The towering peaks of the 10,142-foot Mt. Stimson, the 10,052-foot Mt. Jackson, and the 9,376-foot Mt. St. Nicholas are in constant view. On return you will see views of Whitefish Ski Mountain, Whitefish, and Whitefish Lake, as well as we head back to the airport.
