Alaska - Day 6, Denali & Anchorage

• Breakfast at DEC.
• Walked to Village lobby. Waited for a few minutes. I was the only one in the van. 
• Got to heliport, checked in, weighed. Ice boots over mine. Had to store backpack. 
• Had to wait a little while for fog to clear.
• Asked us to sign a waiver, allowing them to use my image in future brochure. They filmed our entire flight.
• Pilot Marco from Austria. 3 other people. I got to sit in front!

• We did 2 landings! West Fork Glacier and an Alpine lake. 
• Both spectacular. 
• I was a little nervous when we got close to some of the peaks, but I got over it. 
• I was unable to drink glacier water (none easily accessible/drinkable due to silt). 
• Glaciers were less blue than I expected, as yesterday's snow covered it. 
• Total flight time about 2.5 hours. Supposed to be 1.5 hours
• Had a van/driver waiting for me. Drove me to train depot.
• Lunch (burger) & dinner (cod) on board. 2 free drinks (Alaska Brewing Amber Ale).
• Very slow for a while due to yesterday's snow.
• Beautiful views except no Denali.
• Arrived at Anchorage after 9pm. 
• Got bags, short bus ride to Captain Cook Hotel. 
• Reorganized bags.
