Mountain Scouting by Air


On July 28, 2009 a couple friends (Bob and Britta) and I chartered a flight with Sunrise Aviation out of Wrangell to check out Castle Mountain and the surrounding area. Our goal was to get an idea of how we could approach the mountain without bringing a boatload of technical gear. Ironically, we will be bringing a boatload of gear no matter what. Our route to the mountain took us over some the familiar Stikine River. Here a Stikine River slough mixes with a clear water stream.


Clear backwater and a slough nearby.


I have an almost identical photo from February. Identical in the sense that is a very similar perspective. The Shakes Slough Cabin #2 where we spend a couple weeks could be spotted in this photo... but I'm not sure it is visible at this resolution.
