Getting to Hoodoo
For being such a remarkably distant
destination, Hoodoo Lodge is surprisingly easy to access. Guests
begin the journey by flying from home to Anchorage, Alaska, and
overnighting.
The next morning, they
will board a commercial Pen Air flight from Anchorage to the village
of Cold Bay, at the extreme western point of the remote Alaska Peninsula.
Here they are met by Rod, and flown the 45 minutes to the lodge
in his floatplane; assuming clear weather, this is a spectacular
flight, often featuring grizzlies wandering tidal flats, caribou
grazing the tundra highlands, and a breathtaking coastal mountain
range comprised largely of volcanoes, many of which are currently
active!
On the day of departure after
your week fishing, you simply reverse the process. Rod flies
you back to Cold Bay, where you take a Pen Air flight back to Anchorage;
at this point, you can either overnight again, or where viable,
take a redeye flight back home.
