Float Plane to Misty Fjords Alaska

Today we took our annual end-of-the-season excursion. In the past, we've taken helicopters to glaciers and chartered a boat to Tracy's Arm. This time we did something that's been on my bucket list for a long time. We took a float plane to Misty Fjords (to be honest, riding in a float plane was on my bucket list, Misty Fjords was not, but it should have been).

9/24 Update: If pics aren't good enough, the video is at the end of this post.

We flew with Taquan Air. Our group was split in two planes since there were 9 of us and one plane couldn't quite fit all of us. The flight took about 40 minutes from Ketchikan, around a few cool sights, and then landing in a calm inlet. Here's our route in case you're curious. (I was, which is why I put that thing together.)

I sat up front as the co-pilot for the first half.

This was my view.
