Soaring through the mountains - Now we understand why it’s called ,” the cascades “. The beautiful waterfalls cascading from the most incredible colored lakes! The breathtaking close up views of the fantastic north cascades mountains- such a sight! I hope it remains in my memory indefinitely.

An unforgettable day in the cascades! - I booked a flight with Snowking Aviation for my boyfriend's birthday and it was one of the best experiences for both of us. Wayne was very responsive when I wanted to change the day that I originally booked. Wayne is a great guy, knowledgeable, engaging, and made sure everyone was safe and heard. This experience can easily be a day trip from Seattle for people visiting or for people who want to experience the Cascades in a different way. Can't say enough about it!

Unbelievable North Cascades Flight - A beautiful flight of the North Cascades! The expert pilot Wayne had us in the air in no time with just breathtaking views of Baker Lake, Mount Shuksan, Mount Baker, The Picketts and a variety of other peaks, so many i can’t remember them all. Words cannot describe the beauty we have. If you ever get a chance.. take the flight you’ll be amazed.

AMAZING - Absolutely mind blowing experience. Wayne was the perfect tour guide showing us all the glaciers and peaks. Knowing which tour we were able to do due to high winds ands having very clear communication with the group. Fantastic views! Definitely once in a lifetime experience.
Thanks Wayne for being a great host and pilot !!

Unforgettable experience! - I got my wife a trip around Mt. Baker for Mother's day and it was amazing! Wayne was so nice and flexible. We were able to leave slightly later than scheduled while we waited for clearer skies. Wayne made sure our trip was both safe and offered the views we wanted. I cant say enough good things about the trip. Truly a trip to remember. Thank you Wayne

Our flight with Snowking Aviation was unforgettable! - My partner and I did a flight with Snowking Aviation last night and can't say enough how wonderful the experience was! Wayne is the perfect pilot for this- extremely prepared, knowledgable, and engaging. His priority was making sure we had a safe and amazing time- and we did!! I've still got the biggest grin on my face.The weather was a little unpredictable and Wayne also did a great job working around that. I cant wait to do this again during a different season! Thank you times a million.

A can't miss introduction to the North Cascades - I booked an hour long flight at sunset for my girlfriend and I for my birthday. We had a great time! Wayne gave us a great tour through the range, taking us close to the jagged peaks so we could admire them. I'm an avid film photographer, and Wayne helped point out and line up shots, of which I only had 12. We were also impressed with Wayne's professionalism and commitment to safety; his preflight briefing put us at ease before the flight. I'd love to fly with Snowking again!

Stunning Aerial Adventure Over the North Cascades. - Stunning aerial adventure over the North Cascades. I've been meaning to book this tour since last Fall, and so glad I finally went. Wayne is an exceptional pilot and goes into detail about the safety aspects of his plane pre-flight. We finally got some nice weather and went flying.

He explained what I was seeing as we soared above this incredible landscape of textures, shadows, ice, snow and rock. I shot over 1300 images on my camera and can't take my eyes off the results. Bring any camera; just make sure you bring a camera.

If you've ever wondered what the North Cascades looks like from above, this trip answers it and then some. Can't recommend it enough.

Back For More - Stunning Aerial Adventure Above the North Cascades - I couldn't stay away. A week of new snow dumping in the North Cascades set up another trip above this spectacle of nature's beauty in the Northwest. Wayne arranged a tour for me a bit later in the day for better light and the possibility of beautiful alpenglow.

We got all that and more. Just relentless gorgeous snowscapes, towering peaks, faroff Mount Rainier and Glacier Peak. All bathed in soft golden light which turned pink as we headed back home.

I loved this second view of the North Cascades with fresh snow. I had two cameras with me:

Sony a7r2 and Canon 70-200 lens
Fuji GFX100s and GF45-100 medium format

Advice: Keep your shutter speed above 1/500 using ISO. In-camera stabilization helps. Set auto focus to Continuous. Keep lenses close to the window but not in contact. Any tiny glare artifacts in images can be fixed with Content Aware Fill in photoshop.

I got over 70% keepers using these strategies.

Feel free to contact me for prints, or even better, book a tour and go get your own!
