[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am currently trying to justify a helicopter ride to a glacier for dog sledding in Alaska. [/quote]

We did this in Alaska a few years ago with our middle school and elementary school aged children, and it’s still one of my favorite life experiences. We did the dogsled on the glacier, played with the dogs, then went to another glacier and took in the views, the kids drank the melted glacier water, and ran around. It was stunningly beautiful and one of the highlights of an snacking trip.[/quote]

Is it super different from doing this in Scandanavia etc. (I am rolling my own eyes at myself for asking, but I do really want to know!)[/quote]

We did glacier dog sledding in Alaska and compared experiences with someone who did it in Scandinavia. Scandinavia version was much less touristy and my friends were doing it themselves. In Alaska, we were on a dog sled on the glacier and went in a big circle with an employee driving the sled. We also did a different dog sledding experience not on a glacier, but we were also just along for the ride (that time dogs were pulling an ATV)[/quote]

When we went in Alaska they let us each drive the sled.  That was 16 years ago.  But I just did it in Breckenridge this year and they let us drive the sled.  So that’s a little cheaper option but still great.[/quote]
