GLACIER TRIP: What clothing needed?
 

Will be taking helicopter to Denver Glacier in early August at approx. 9A.M. <BR>Advise us what clothing we'll need for this trip.Is it better to do this trip later in the day for weather reasons?

I didn't know there was a glacier in Denver. Sounds cold to me; I think I would bundle up even though it is summer time, especially since it is windy on the glaciers here in Nebraska an dlikely will be in Denver too.

Bruce,<BR><BR>Only do glaciers between 2 pm and 4 pm. That way you get a sun tan as well. Remember sun block.<BR><BR>Have you considered checking with the helicopter company??????????????<BR><BR>Weather or not

Why does flatlander think Denver Glacier is in Denver ? Bruce asks travel questions and deserves real answers, not made fun of especially by those who are not that brainy but pretend to be. Alaska really has a Denver Glacier. (It also has a Harvard and a Yale). <BR>I did not do a helicopter ride to a glacier, but did a Prince William Sound cruise to several. It does get cool as the ship got closer to the glacier; I imagine more so when you're on it. As suggested in several posts regarding what to wear in Alaska, layering is the answer, plus a waterproof jacket (like goretex). <BR>I can't answer the question on what time of day to do this. Perhaps now that readers realize you have real questions, others who have done a helicopter rides will post their answers.

Much thanks to those who responded to my question about glaciers
