The one excursion I wanted to do
more than anything in Alaska was a helicopter ride and walk on a
glacier. I chose to take this excursion out of Skagway to the Meade
Glacier. I am so glad I chose to take the ride out of Skagway. Our
weather for our helicopter day was perfect. In fact, our guide said it
was the first day they had been able to fly over the mountain instead of
through the river bed. It had been very rainy before that day since
the season had started. All the helicopter excursions in Juneau the day
before had been canceled due to the weather. I felt very blessed.
The
boys and I had never been in a helicopter before. Our pilots were
wonderful, the views were spectacular, and the experience of walking on a
glacier is indescribable.
