Most Remote Adventure: Flight from a Plesant Prince to a Yukon Bowl_Leg 2

The mornings weather in Prince Rupert was perfect. This leg is from Prince Rupert to Dawson City, Yukon.


The flight plan uses Low Alt Airways FL12 /450 kts / 736 mi / 238 gals



The weather and view remained stunning up to Hanes



...and then, welcome to the Yukon. 70 nm from CYDA wind and rain joined the party.

Dawson City Airport is basically in a bowl surrounded by tall trees. CYDA brings new meaning to "Dropping in".
CYDA has a gravel runway that's 5007' X 100'

The Caution notes for Dawson read:
"Hi gnd penetrates tkof/apch slopes aprx 2NM fr each end of rwy."
It could simply read: Hit your marks ...You'll use it all!


Parked, fueled, flight plan made & ready for tomorrows trip to Sachs Harbor.
