Creator's Key Takeaways
that is take a helicopter ride and land on a glacier you get to get out walk around the glacier your guide's going to drop a pebble into a deep crass and you can tell that it's hundreds of feet deep
it is just a lot of fun it's easy easy to get to it comes right out your ship to pick you up and it follows the Skagway river right up the valley goes up to the White Pass where all the gold miners had to get up to to go do the Yukon Gold Rush very historic ride a lot of fun and fantastic scenery on that
