Backcountry Charters
Embark on an adventure with McCall Aviation
Discover Idaho’s Wild Heart in Unmatched Comfort
We offer premium Backcountry Charter service into the most breathtaking and remote corners of the American West—perfect for adventurers, outdoor enthusiasts, and those seeking true solitude and discovery.
From the dramatic spires of the Sawtooth Wilderness to the deep canyons and endless ridgelines of the Frank Church–River of No Return Wilderness, we fly you into the heart of Idaho’s untamed landscapes. Explore the pristine waters and wild trails of the Boise, Payette, and Salmon-Challis National Forests, where the possibilities for adventure are as vast as the views.
Whether you’re headed to a remote wilderness lodge, embarking on a fly fishing expedition, tackling a bikepacking or backpacking route, or simply chasing an unforgettable scenic flight or backcountry breakfast, we’ll get you there safely, comfortably, and in style.
Our flagship aircraft—the Quest Kodiak 100—is built right here in Idaho and engineered for rugged backcountry performance. With seating for up to nine guests and the ability to carry up to 2,000 pounds of passengers and gear, the Kodiak offers the perfect blend of luxury, power, and versatility. The interior can be tailored to your needs, whether you’re traveling with rods, packs, bikes, or bulky cargo.
Traveling with a smaller group? Through our partnership with McCall Aviation, we’re proud to offer more economical charter options in smaller aircraft—delivering the same unforgettable access to Idaho’s natural beauty, at a scale and price that fits your plans.
