    Description

    Landing an airplane on the Nikolai Pass airstrip in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park involves navigating a high-altitude, unmarked, and sloped ridge. The strip requires precise techniques for short-field, backcountry landings, often involving uphill approaches and a low pass to check for hazards.

    CAUTION - the information for this landing site is uncorroborated.
