Even though there is a 4-wheel drive road off the Nabesna Road that takes you to the river, it fords several streams and is often impassable. A better choice is to fly in to a strip known as the Orange Hill Airstrip where you can spend a day or two hiking up into the big glacier country at the terminus of the Nabesna Glacier before starting down river in a raft or kayak. From Northway you can charter a wheelplane to take you the short flight to the Orange Hill Airstrip.
