Coyote Air Service &raquo; Your air logistics and flying service to Alaska&#039;s remote arctic region

Tom Zajicek - July 21, 2013 - 6:10 pm

I am planning a backpacking trip into the Arrigetch Peaks the last week in August and would like information on flight costs for two people with 50 lb. packs. I am interested in either landing on either Takahula Lake or Circle Lake and leaving from the same. Also, are there regular flights to Coldfoot from Fairbanks and approx. the cost of round trip for that?

Thank you,

I am wondering the exact same question as Tom Zajicek; how much would it cost to fly two people from Fairbanks to Takahula Lake or Circle Lake?

Thank you,

Mike

I went to the Gates last summer backpacking for ten days. I went over to Oolah Lake (NE corner) not Circle Lake. It cost about $400 to fly from Fairbanks to Bettles. Bettles is closer than Coldfoot to your destination. Check with Wright Air Service dot com for rates from any nearby town to you wilderness destination. It’ll depend on how many are flying in, how much gear you have, and where you want to be dropped and/or picked up. As you can see from these great photos, the trip is incredible.

What’s the air cost from Fairbanks to Arrigetch Creek area?

Hi. Just wondering if you ever sell your photos. My husband and I just went on a flight-seeing tour over the Arrigetch peaks and just were not able to capture the beauty of them with our camera from the little bush plane we were in. I am particularly interested in the last photo in this gallery since it is more representative of what we saw from our flight. Thank you!

Hi,
Plan to buy a 16′ skiff in Fairbanks early August. Need to transport the skiff and motor, my gear and I to Kotzebue. Fishing on rivers North and east of Kotz. Can you get me there? If no, can you recommend someone who is able?

Spring Flying

That time of year has come again and we are out an about. This year started with Bousie, our Stinson, doing a survey on the North Slope

Bousie in Coldfoot

Bousie is sporting my Grandfather’s skis which he had on his Stinson in 1948. It was a lot of fun rigging the skis and heading out the door with it for the first time. She has on a pair of Federal 2500A Straight skis.

Flying through the Brooks Range

Taking a Break at Galbraith Lake

It was a 4 beautiful days up on the slope, clear sky’s and cold. We then headed down to the Alaska Range where we hauled hay into some remote camps.

Miss the old Beaver, she’s a great bird, great times in the Arctic, on those occasions, forever etched in my memories. I am active still in sculpture work on our old friend Mammoth, searching the Bering Sea and Chukchi for salt water tusks, they are ‘gem grade’ with colors magnificent! Andreas says hello, recently married to a Bavarian girl, doing well still in the eye-glass design business and visits me twice a year in Bali. The only word I can think of is ‘Magic’ when I think of Dirk, the tundra and the amazing expanse of country waiting to be unlocked to free men. The history and prehistory that is more than willing to teach, to add memories to our lives and at once change them. But mostly, I miss our trips, your family and seeing you on the horizon brother! Love Bill Sidmore

Hope Aliy, Allen and guests have a fun time. Aliy and Allen desevre the “down time” to have fun in what they enjoy!! Weather is looking good…-20F at night and 0F during the day…perfect for dog and man! As usual, Kaz has (undoubtably)prepared some awesome meals. Don’t forget the Tang and heavy cream. Nothing better than homemade ice cream, at -20F, after a fun day.
