So, I've had some pretty amazing adventures up here. Small ones, big ones, and THIS ONE.
This was easily the most incredible thing I've ever done in my entire life. Today I rode a helicopter over the most breathtaking glaciers and mountains, hiked on the Chilcat glacier, and flew back into Skagway. Oh and it was all free...... perks of being a White Pass employee.
This was one of the main things on my summer bucketlist.... and it exceeded every expectation! Sometimes I just have to pinch myself to remind myself that I'm actually LIVING this dream.
Brace yourself, more pictures. :)
This is the three of us and our awesome tour guide/pilot. Seriously slipping into cliche tourist mode.... taking pictures with the guide.
And here is the Skagway harbor. In one of my earlier posts I said I would get a picture like this... and here it is! How can you not be completely in love with this place.
I am seriously on a high right now. Today was incredible.
Just an update on my daily adventures- I've been doing pretty well with my adventure-a-day goal. Lots of times they are really small, but they make my day a little brighter. I did my first tour to Fraser, BC, and it went well! The other day I spotted my first eagle up here, and I also found a new running trail. Sometimes its the little things that make the biggest difference.
Along with that, I've found that its the extra little things I do in my job that make it the most enjoyable. Obviously, I get paid to be a tour guide, answer questions, sell things...... etc. I don't get paid to take people's pictures, un-fog the windows with paper towels, learn people's stories.......... but those are some of my favorite parts. Well I don't really love un-fogging windows, lets be honest. But people are SO appreciative when you go the extra mile for them. Even working, there are always acts of service you can perform. And I absolutely love getting a little peek into people's lives. Pretty cool stuff.
Well that's all for now, folks. See you next time.
