Discover the diversity of the southeast Alaska landscape via helicopter as you fly over temperate rainforests and granite peaks that surround Alaska’s capital city. After your flightseeing tour, your pilot will land at our trekking site on the Mendenhall Glacier. Your guide will teach you how to use trekking poles and crampons for balance and traction, enabling you to travel easily on gently rolling glacial terrain. During this non-strenuous, one-hour interpretive walk, your guide will point out and explain the glacier features and allow you ample time for photos.
Need to Know:
Note: Participants must be at least 8 years of age and be able to walk up to one mile on rolling and uneven terrain for an hour. Flight time is approximately 30 minutes, with an hour on the glacier. No experience is necessary. Guests are outfitted in wind and waterproof outerwear, hard shell mountaineering boots with crampons, gloves, a waist pack complete with a granola bar and water, and a trekking pole for added stability on the glacier. Dress in comfortable layers, wear mid-length socks, and bring sunglasses. No bags, loose items or tablets are allowed on board the helicopter, safe storage is provided at the base.
