Video highlights of the Glacier Trek hiking tour that I completed with my daughter Kate while traveling in Juneau, Alaska on July 19, 2017. We took a helicopter from the Juneau Airport to the Mendenhall Glacier. Once on the glacier, we hiked for two hours with experienced guides. This tour was led by NorthStar Trekking, and was booked through Princess Cruise Lines. It was fantastic!
The video was recorded with a GoPro Hero 5 Black. Still photos are from my Nikon D5300 (18 to 140mm lens), my daughter’s Nikon D3300 (18 to 55mm lens), and the GoPro. The video was edited using iMovie.
Even though we are already home, I’m behind in posting these journals from our trip…TA
This morning I watched us sail into Vancouver from our balcony. It was a cloudy morning with temps around 70º. We had an early breakfast in the Bordeaux Dining Room since we had to be out of our room by 8am. We got to see Snezana one last time, and she even gave us her email address so we could send her all the pictures we had taken with her and our family.

Last night and through mid-day today the seas were very rough as we moved into open waters. Kate and Sara both took Dramamine before we left the cabin to meet Papa for breakfast in the Bordeaux Dining Room.
After a delicious breakfast, we dropped off Sara at the kids club and headed to the Universe Lounge for a culinary presentation and galley tour.. During the cooking presentation we were introduced to the Executive Chef and Maitre’d. The Executive Chef has been with Princess for 35 years.
As usual, we had a lovely breakfast in the Bordeaux Dining Room before saying goodbye to Papa and getting off the boat in Ketchikan. It was a little rainy, which was the first rain we’ve really had to deal with on our trip, but it wasn’t bad at all only lasted through the first half of the day.
This morning at breakfast in the Bordeaux Dining Room we saw Snezana from Serbia, who had been our assistant waitress the last three nights for dinner. She came over from across the dining room to see Sara and bring her a chocolate milk, since she orders one every night.
After breakfast Kate and I split from Papa, Olivia, and Sara, because we had booked separate excursions. Kate and I were scheduled to ride a helicopter and land on Mendenhall Glacier for a two-hour Glacier hike.
After a quick breakfast in the Horizon Court, we got off the ship in Skagway and boarded a coach to the train station. The weather all day was great with temps in the upper 50s to mid 60s and intermittent sunshine.
