Creator's Key Takeaways

we took the helicopter ride up to Mendenhall Glacier and then we're going to ride a dog set across that Glacier

it was 599 a piece that's expensive I know but by the time we got up there it was 749 a piece yeah so book it early number one so you can get that spot and number two to save a lot of money

these dogs truly 100 percent love to do this and I put it towards our Chihuahua that loves to go to the dog park and run up and down the fence with the other dogs he loves that it's not tortured to him

I would have paid to do it again I would have I would have said how much can I pay to do this again as much as expensive as it may seem 600 bucks a piece to do it it was worth everything it really was it was worth it

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book the helicopter and dog sled excursion months in advance to secure a spot and save money.
โœ“Tell the tour operator your exact weight when booking to avoid surprises and potential surcharges.
โœ“Wear appropriate clothing and be prepared for sunburn on the glacier, even in cool weather.
โœ“If you have mobility issues, be aware that getting into the helicopter and walking on the glacier can be challenging.
