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.
