Alaskans! Scenic Wonders! A Top 10 of Alaska Tours!
Helicopter Glacier Trekking is the best way to explore the scenic wonders of the Juneau
Icefield’s glaciers and is a favorite of locals and
visitors alike. This adventure includes learning a new skill
while hiking into some of the most fascinating areas of
these glaciers. No experience is necessary.
Take off from the heliport in
a modern turbine helicopter, soaring over the glaciers of
the 1500 square-mile Juneau Icefield. The scenic terrain
of mountain peaks, glacier icefalls and crevasses is revealed
through the extraordinary visibility of the helicopter.
The blue of Alaska’s glacial lakes is unsurpassed.
The helicopter touches down and
your glacier experience begins. Spend two hours on the ice
with a professional glacier guide teaching you basic mountaineering
skills and the proper use of your equipment. Your guide
will lead you on a hike that is both adventurous and easy.
You will discover remarkable glacier features as you experience
the magic of this landscape.
