When to Go
The best time for an Alaska helicopter glacier landing is from May to September when weather conditions are most favorable. During these months, the days are longer, offering extended daylight for exploration. Always check the National Weather Service for current forecasts and plan accordingly. Even in summer, Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable, so flexibility is key.
What to Wear
Dressing appropriately is crucial for a comfortable experience. Layering is essential due to the variable alpine conditions. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, followed by insulating layers, and finish with a waterproof outer shell. Sturdy boots with good grip are recommended for glacier landings.

Photography Tips
Capturing the beauty of Alaska’s glaciers requires some preparation. Bring a camera with a wide-angle lens to capture expansive landscapes.
