Accessibility at a glance
Accessibility information for Alaska Icefield Expeditions hasn't been reported on AbleVu yet. Confirm with the venue before visiting.
Alaska Icefield Expeditions runs a summer helicopter tour from the Skagway waterfront to a sled-dog camp on the Denver Glacier, about 2 hours in all with roughly 30 minutes of flying; guests meet the musher and dogs but don't ride a sled. The operator says guests must board the helicopter with little to no help, walk about 200 feet and climb two 18-inch steps on their own, and be comfortable on uneven, sometimes icy snow; traction overboots are provided, bags aren't allowed on board (storage is at the heliport) and restrooms are at the helicopter base. AbleVu doesn't have sourced details on the heliport entrance, parking or seating, and the street address isn't confirmed. AbleVu has no tour category yet, so this is listed as an attraction. Not checked on-site by AbleVu.
