There are several like this out there and they often have photo galleries depicting a bunch of back packers or bear watchers posing with a cub.

Nice.

OK. How do you fit them all in there?

But seriously, would each of them pay a charter to get up there and several cubs and a few cessnas would drop them all of individually to hike as a group in some kind of tour?

I imagine it would be cheaper to charter a 206 or Beaver between 6 of them.

Well, what the plane is depends on a lot of factors.
Some carry a bigger load and maybe can land, but the area ain't big enough to get up.
It might seem cheaper to get them bigger planes. But after you crack it up,
gets a lil more spendy.

from my reading of Mort Mason's book "flying the Alaska Wild" (and my memory is a bit hazy) he spoke many times of charters where he made several trips to ferry groups in and out with the supercub. he also spoke of several instances where a couple of passengers may have been flown in a single trip (Apparently small passengers in cramped fashion) along with a long winded explanation of why some Alaskan supercub operators treat the FAA weight restrictions as more of a guideline than a regulation.
