GRANDEUR SEEN FROiVi AiR
ON TRIP AWE INSPIRING
BEAUTY GRACES UTIUTY
Continued From Page One
Juneau until we neared Whitehorse
and the beauty of the pass between
the dazzling white mountains and
blue glaciers is simply indescrib
able. Told by Pilot Joseph Barrows
that there was snow ahead and we
were not alarmed or surprised when
flakes whizzed by the windows as
we approached the Canadian town
at the head of the Yukon.
The plane came to rest smoothly
on the airfield a mile from the town
and we met the little group of peo
ple who had come up on sleighs and
dog sleds to greet the first scheduled
plane of PAA into the Interior. We
waited in the warm station while
the big plane wras gassed up and
weather reports were received and
snow swirled by the windows. For
a few minutes adverse reports made
it look as though we would stay
overnight at Whitehorse and Pilot
Barrows asked all five of us if we
would mind. Naturally none did.
But, because everyone wanted the
inaugural trip to go through, there
was a feeling of satisfaction when
Tanana Crossing report said the wcu
ther was good and Mr. Barrows de
cided to continue.
Interesting Country
We soon passed through the snow
after we were once more snugly ar
ranged in the plane and it took off
leaving Whitehorse behind. Though
the weather was somewhat thick
until we again crossed the boundary
into Alaska, the country between
Whitehorse and the Tanana country
is as interesting as the more mount
ainous coast country. Sharp jagged
peaks are left behind and the coun
try opens up so that one can see
valleys and hills lulling into the dis
tance for miles.
. Lovely Kluane Lake, nearly sixty
miles long and thickly covered with
blue ice is a wonderful sight and
the small communities we whizzed
over seemed close together as we
soared along at one hundred and
eighty miles an hour, though the
map showed that hundreds of miles
intervened.
Houndary Clear
As we passed the boundary, into
Alaska again the clouds lifted and
from there to Fairbanks the sky be
came increasingly clear with a bril
liant sunset coloring the snow capp
ed range to the right with rose,
mauve and salmon. The Boundary,
itself, with timber slashed for a
width of a hundred feet, is plainly
visible from the air as it slants
away to the Arctic.
Beautifully Seenic
The flight through the Tanana
Valley, outlined on the right by a
mountain range with peaks piercing
the sky is beautiful, with Mt. Hayes,
majestic Mt. McKinley, the Richard -
• Ti Highway and Donnelly Dome all
providing interest and variety on the
most scenic air trip imaginable.
This Juneau-Fairbanks air route
should not only prove of inestim
able benefit to the Territory but will
provide tourists with a gorgeous
panoramic view of Alaska from the
Capitol city to the great golden
heart of the Territory all within a
few hours.
Courteous Service
Too much praise cannot be given
to pilot Barrows, co-pilot S. E. Rob
bins and Robert Gleason, of the Pac
ific Alaska stalT for their solicitious
and cheerful attention to the pass
engers. Nothing was overlooked to
make us at home and the trip inter
esting, from the individual lunches
of coffee, salad and sandwiches serv
ed half an hour after we left White
horse, to the interesting details they
point out along the way.
Most Wonderful Experience
As we landed on the crowded
Fairbanks airfield, with the sunset
still glowing in the sky, I signed
with the realization tiiat it was the
conclusion of the most interesting
and thrilling day I had ever spent.
To be privileged to cross our rugged
northland country in a plane as
swift, comfortable and well equipp
ed as the finest plane operating in
the States, with dual motors, radio
