| Heli Hiking & Glacier Tours |
Your imagination can become reality.
Don't settle for seeing these incredible sights from a distance.
We won't just fly you over the glacier....but through it! We
will land on or near the glacier, to stretch your legs. Just
imagine the thrill of laying your naked hand on a mountain
of ice that towers above you!
Complete your trip by enjoying a gourmet picnic under the
immense beauty and splendor of the glacier! You will enjoy
peering into the bluest blue that you have ever seen. (WARNING!
These spectacular and immense glaciers have been known to make
people feel very insignificant....) Enjoy viewing tarn lakes
and glacial moraines, exotic plants (such as Monkey Flowers)
and unusual animals, like the Whistling Marmot! Oh, and when
you are enjoying your picnic lunch, just for fun make your
drink a little colder by cutting a piece of ice right from
the face of the glacier! Then, when you finally fly away, a
little bit of the glacier will be with you forever! |
