Glacier Trek...Level 2...Via Helicopter

Overview

Your tour begins with a transfer to the Juneau airfield and your waiting helicopter. Before taking off, we'll fit you with the proper gear and give you a safety briefing. This tour includes approximately 30 minutes total (in both directions) of flightseeing, to enable you to take in the beauty of several of the nearby glaciers. Which glaciers you see will depend on the weather, but most times you'll see the Mendenhall, Herbert, and/or Lemon Glaciers, while the Taku, Norris, Bottle, and Thiel Glaciers are some of the others you might get to view.

Once on the glacier, you'll be taught the proper use of mountaineering gear. You'll be trekking over remote glacier routes, so well make sure that you understand the glacier features and hazards. This trek will not be a piece of cake, at times it will be extensive and physically demanding. You may experience steep terrain and it will last about two hours. If you're the athletic type, you're going to have a blast!

No previous glacier trekking or mountaineering experience is necessary, bring your sense of adventure and discover the best of Alaska!.
