Great photos... Single engine over these rocks is definitely a higher
level of risk... Look the the meticulous maintenance of your plane my
friend...

You said it. That is never out of my mind and detracts somewhat from the
sheer enjoyment of it all. You don't see it in the pictures, but most
valley bottoms have major logging roads - these are two lane gravel
roads and mostly straight so those huge trucks can keep up their speed.
Otherwise there are logging clearings, sandbars along the rivers,
beaches on the lakes, and even some of those icefields have large smooth
and flat areas.

However there are still significant areas where there frankly are no
good options. My plane has an engine monitor and I believe this one
thing vastly improves the detection of an impending engine problem. Oh
and I will never run out of fuel of course!

Maintenance is not an issue. The previous owner and I have the same
attitude - we want to make our mechanics rich.
