Helicopter tours in Valdez Alaska
Vertical Solutions brought one of their helicopters to the city dock on the 4th of July 2014 to take tourists up for an aerial of the local glaciers and waterfalls. The weather was so perfect and I was ready to go!

This was just too cool. The weather was perfect and the wind was calm and the pilot was smooth on the controls.

Shoup Glacier – Valdez Alaska – vibrant turquoise color
blue color from compacted ice in glacier
The blue ice color in the crevices is caused by the absorption of all the colors of the spectrum except blue which is reflected and is the most cool blue color!

DP,
Great photos mate…looks like a really nice place to visit that Valdez….What’s the cost of those joy flights and how long does it go for as I’m thinking about 30 minutes like here in Australia.
Are you trying to find some work in Alaska now or just touring around until you get back to the US.

Hi Ricky
We had a cake walk yesterday at the Christiian School. Everyone liked it ,we gave away ten cakes and ten flashlights. Was that the first time you rode in a heilocopter? The make a lot of wind when they land A mate. I rode heilocopters in the Marines. Totally different then riding in a plane A. Well Roxey says hi.

Hi DP great pics, quite the opposite to here Ha!!
Pity we did not catch up during your recent visit, know your time was limited, hope your back again soon.
Good to hear from you Bruce ! I emailed Lindsay and he seems to be doing well in New Zealand. It was always a pleasure to meet up with you two in the Philippines. Hope to catch up with you next time.

I was last in Alaska for the red salmon season on the Naknek River in Bristol Bay in the 2019 season.
I miss the nomadic lifestyle that I have become used to but am now waiting out the coronavirus epidemic in the state of Michigan in the USA. (March 2020)
I do hope that this works out .
Best wishes to everyone worldwide !
stay strong and have patience
