Alaska Glacier Adventure: Helicopter Flight with a Landing & Wild Blueberries on Matanuska Glacier

While in Alaska, we got the chance to ride on a helicopter and land on the Matanuska Glacier. It was a bucket list experience for both my dad and I and something I will never forget. Here is the full adventure featuring our landing on the 27 mile glacier and trying some fresh blueberries on the side of the hill.

Thank you Holly ❤ what a stunning beautiful video

[@realalaskaliving]

Big thanks to Josh & Pops for joining me on a beautiful Alaska helicopter tour😊

[@ThroughMyLens]

Holly is the best, was so fun for her to invite us!

[@vetinaalvarez4004]

❤❤❤

[@josieluna5737]

Hi Josh & Pops, that was spectacular that Holly invited you along this wonderful Helicopter tour.... It actually brought tears to my eyes to see and capture the beauty of the Glacier!!

[@JaniceStewart863]

What a wonderful video. Your partnership with Holly, the joy as the adventure unfolded, the views, the blue pools, and Pops and the blueberries...so enjoyable to watch. And then that fabulous montage at the end was spectacular, including your musical background, which was a perfect match.

[@Danika_Nadzan]

All your adventures with Pops are interesting, fun, and so well done, but this might just be my favorite! My best trip ever was two weeks in Alaska in 1986, and I got to walk on a glacier, but this helicopter trip shows the grandeur and beauty at a whole new level! Alaska truly is a spectacular, magical place...thank you for reminding me of that!❤😊

[@essietangle9931]

Wow, wow, wow. Special shout out to Holly, thanks for taking all of us along!✅

[@ThroughMyLens]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@thedogzoo]

Thank you Holly for being so generous to these 2 gentlemen. I really enjoyed seeing this video 'Through My Lens" ❤

[@rhondaz356]

You never fail to bring us entertaining, interesting, informative and beautifully well thought out videos. WOW, that must have been so exciting, and enjoyable for you and your Dad, Josh. HELLO to Holly...👏🏻👏🏻 🎊🫐 That last part was so awesome.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for always watching the videos and providing such thoughtful comments!

[@BackroadExploits]

Epic, courtesy of one special lady! Thanks Holly!

[@TwylaWorld]

We had the pleasure to fly with Mark last summer! What an amazing experience! We also got the mountain top blueberry treat! Highly recommend that flight to all who venture there! I our full 18 day road trip series on my channel! Good idea of mounting the gopro to the helicopter! Wish I had done that!

[@LauraNiemond]

My favorite episode so far!

[@kathybroadway7570]

Just watched your beautiful video on my big screen. Awesome awesome! I watch your videos often very relaxing on a Sunday afternoon. Thank you!🎉

[@ThroughMyLens]

So glad you like the videos and I hope they still look good on the big screen

[@louise3993]

What a once in a lifetime adventure. So happy for all you. Holly that was so nice of you. I can only imagine what is like being there. The go pro at the end was like the cherry on top. Thanks so much for sharing this adventure. Scenery amazing.

[@Blackfilmguild]

Wow! Amazing views! Holly is so kind to invite you guys.

[@C-TOS]

The power of networking, it just works!

[@ThroughMyLens]

[@realalaskaliving]

Awesome video Josh, ahh the ending always brings a tear to my eyes, such beautiful scenery and reminds me how blessed I am to call this place home💕

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks so much for taking us along!

[@candicespencer2021]

That was absolutely stunning Josh, Pops and Holly! ❤

[@wildzenventures]

Wow, what an amazing adventure for you all! Very Kind of Holly to invite you both along. I love hearing these kinds of stories, cheers!!!

[@patriciatennery3021]

I was absolutely thrilled as if I were there. Terrific!!

[@paultucker1272]

Wow! What stunning scenery! I'm impressed that Pops got in the helicopter! Like him, I don't do heights either, but even I couldn't resist a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon and I'm glad I did as it's one of the most memorable things I've ever done. Our world, in places, is truly awe inspiring. Thank you for taking us along, the footage was fantastic!

[@cgreen186]

That looks more like a huckleberry than a blueberry. What beautiful sights. That is somewhere I've always wanted to go but never quite made it.

[@lbeddin]

I'm pleased to have a chance to thank you and Pops for sharing your adventures. My husband and I just got back from a ten day trip to Alaska. Prior to leaving, we watched your eight day trip to Alaska several times and I took lots of notes. We were able to go to many of the places y'all went and I know our trip would not have been as enjoyable without your video. Keep on traveling!!

[@popshiking]

@lbeddin So glad our previous trip was helpful for you! That is one of the main reasons Josh got into making these videos.

[@terizumbusch8408]

So incredibly beautiful thank you so much for sharing. Love traveling with you and your dad!

[@1melodyoflove1]

Your voice is so soothing. I can turn on the TV and do anything around the house., and watch you guys in your adventures and still feel so mellow and pleasant with that beautiful voice of yours. Hi, dad, hi, mom, hi, everybody, girls have a great adventure. Thanks for a good time.

Amazing video--we like all of your videos, but this is one of the best. One of the best travel experiences we have ever had was last summer is a plane trip out of Talkeetna that circled Denali and landed on a glacier. Your trip looked amazing!

I've always wanted to experience Alaska's glaciers, and your video gave me a taste of that! The helicopter ride and the blueberry foraging on Matanuska Glacier looked incredible.

[@ThroughMyLens]

[@brucelamay8977]

Cool Stuff Did you happen to run into the 1870s Homestead couple? I think they took the same flight a few days ago

[@catherinepham782]

Wow what’s an awesome experience! What month did u go?

[@JimJoeKnoxTenn]

I'm guessing that, being right in the center of those awesome views, this experience might at least tempt you to ditch your drone and invest in a smaller version of that helicopter -- haha!

[@ThroughMyLens]

Seriously, I would love to fly in a helicopter a lot more haha

[@violetbf3773]

I’m assuming it wasn’t cold up there because Pops removed his jacket 😁🏔️

[@faithford9143]

How did you not wear a coat on that ice glacier, its not cold out there🥶this video was amazing 🏆

[@ThroughMyLens]

It was actually pretty warm the day we went haha

[@the03mach1]

I can't believe pops rode in a helicopter....😅😅

[@popshiking]

@the03mach1 Hahaha! I can hardly believe it myself!

[@nimrodkapas7691]

Does it need to be a specific time of the year to see these blue lakes on the glacier?

[@arrrgonot7801]

Ya got momey f i

You need a motor home so the babies and wife can go with you!!!!!!!!!!!!
