I'm in S.E. Alaska. No road in of out. Only way to get here is plane or boat. S.E AK is very mountainous, thick forests, lots of glaciers, channels and cannels. A very scenic place to fly. It lies in the middle of an intercostal marine water way. Tides are +20feet above sea level to -4 below sea level. Shore lines or beaches are very rocky, with boulders, there are places to land a cub with tundra tires. With the very high tides you need to plan according to the tide table for most beaches are under water at high tide. Ditching is beach or channel, so you learn quickly the best routes based on number of places to land. Mostly uncontrolled airspace. Canada is just a jump over the ice fields. It's also one of the few places this far north that is considered a rain forest, so weather is very rainy, foggy, very warm in the winter by Alaska standards. Clear days are few and far between. Lots of float planes, super cubs w tundra tires and such. Most towns or villages have an uncontrolled air strip or float plane dock or both. Love flying here always wishing for better weather.
