For your convenience, your personal jet or charter aircraft can land at Gulkana Airport's paved runway, where we will pick you up. You can also take a 1-hour charter plane ride from Anchorage to Gulkana. However, if decide to drive, we are a short 3.5 to 4 hour drive along Alaska's scenic highways.
