From the article in Flying Magazine - I checked it out in the sim. Not bad. As expected, in some of the rougher back-country like Alaska, the terrain mapping is limited by the availability / quality of satellite photography. The discolorations at Chena Springs AK is present in most commercial/consumer maps online.

Definite back-country flying, and there’s really only one good way in and out of this valley. If you overshoot, you might end up at the nearby ranch’s private strip.

The strip and the seaplane pier are near each other, unfortunately M35 is not depicted in the sim. You could land on the lake though and simulate pulling up near shore.

This is convenience for certain - one of the golf course’s holes is right near the end of RWY23 approach. Pretty fancy!

High-country, and a quality length runway - this is jet accessible. Unlike the other airports listed here, you have travel a little further West to see the resort.

Picturesque - that’s Lake Geneva - beautiful approach, so much so I forgot to take an external shot with the aircraft.

Based on the satellite overheads, you could literally stop the plane on the strip, jump out and be in the Hot Springs in 30 seconds. Definite bush flying though!
