I love Glaciers!



I had the most amazing weekend. On Friday, I went glacier flight seeing where I viewed the Mead Glacier from a small plane. Kind of crazy and not something that I would recommend if you are the least bit hung over. Unfortunately, my camera was dead so I don't have any photos from that adventure, which is really sad because there were some spectacular views. No worries, my camera was all charged up for my Saturday excursion to Glacier Point.




Glacier Point is South East of Haines, I believe. Basically, I took the fast ferry to Haines and then went and viewed the Davidson Glacier. Once at Glacier Point, we took a short bus ride, then short hike, and then a short canoe ride to the glacier. It was soooo rad. We go to get out of the canoes and actually walk on glacier ice!!

Glacier Point is hands down the coolest place I've been all summer. The people who work out there pretty much have the coolest job in the world. There's just 11 of them; living completely off the grid, subsistence living in an amazingly beautiful place. I think I want to live here. Words and pictures can not begin to describe how incredible this place really is.
