​General information about our Yentna River Sunday

Land on the Yentna River where in the summer it carries the most fertile salmon run, and the winter brings a wide frozen river which transforms into a racetrack for the Last Great Race. An afternoon departure allows enough time to fly over the teams and check out all the action on the run before landing on the Yentna River to watch the dog teams race to Nome.
