Beaver on floats in AK GoPro footage

Really nice feel-good video from pilot Jim McClain flying a beaver around Alaska. Anyone recognize the area? I figure it's SW but that's a large area.

Looks like Bettles and interior AK southern Brooks Range. Some of my old turf.

A fine video. Made me homesick too and I've only been gone for a month.
