Three copters took off from the Juneau, Alaska International Airport and brought my group from the cruise ship to the glacier and took those who they had previous brought up, back to the airport. The next trip there were four copters bringing up adventurers.
The helecopter ride was not scary! It was very smooth and the only sensation on a turn, was looking down at the glacier.
I walked on Fire (cooled lava in Hawaii) and this adventure has resulted in me walking on Ice (ice skating doesn’t count).
I have now walked on Fire and Ice!
While I was in a helicopter flying overhead, Jordan hiked two miles on a lush tail through the Tongass National Forest, (the world’s last great temperate rainforest) to the cascading Nugget Creek Falls from the Mendenhall Glacier.
Below is one of several minor streams that Jordan crossed on the Nugget Creek Trail.
