By helicopter to the Knik Glacier

See deep blue glacial icebergs,  walk on a terminal moraine and watch the new vegetation trying to get a foothold on the newly exposed land. Spend some time in this wild area and hear the ice crack and moan. If you’re lucky icebergs calve into the lake. Wildlife abounds with bald eagles nesting in the valley, moose browsing for fresh leaves and bears and Dall sheep high on the mountain sides. You have plenty of time to hike around during the approximately 3 hour adventure that is sure to be a highlight of your Alaska experience! Hot drinks are served at glacier camp. This tour is also available by airboat instead of helicopter.
