Helicopter flight, Pilot commentary
Explore Alaska’s backcountry by helicopter, taking in glaciers and rugged peaks without a strenuous hike. Fly aboard a Robinson R44 for an aerial perspective on this remote landscape.
Lifting off above Girdwood Airport, you’ll rise above beautiful mountain peaks and enter the 20-Mile river valley. Views of one of North America’s most glacier-filled regions present great photo opportunities from the comfort of the helicopter. Look for wildlife along the steep cliffs as we make our return. Other sights during the flight include views of the Girdwood Valley and Glacier Creek that can only be seen from the air.
