We did the combo tour starting with an incredible helicopter flight over the glaciers with a landing on Troublesome Glacier.
There are about 40 dogs (and pups) being housed and very well looked after on this remote outpost which we got to meet and we had an absolutely BRILLIANT sledging trip with only us and our guide (Sierra), on this snow covered glacier. This is the real deal in an absolutely pristine environment.
Yet there was more to come .....
With two exceptional guides (Chad and Sierra) and three snowmobiles, we went off exploring over the snow clad glacier across the most incredible landscapes and after about half an hour we reached the edge of the glacier with a 2000' drop beyond.
This is an absolute wilderness area with jaw dropping views and is totally off the beaten track. We explored the area and returned to the dog camp and jumped into our waiting helicopter for another amazing flight back to base camp. The total trip took about 4 1/2 hours and was the highlight of our Alaskan trip.
Thanks for a wonderful trip. Martin and Julie.
