Mt. McKinley Chopper Flight – 1999

A little off topic, but I thought you all might enjoy taking another chopper ride. Enjoy thisĀ 25-minute chopper tourĀ  up Mt. McKinley we took in 1999. Beautiful scenery as we got to approximately 11,400 feet. The mountain’s summit is 20,335 feet, the highest in North America. Notice that trees grow on the glaciers at certain altitudes. I converted this from Hi8 video we took. Our pilot also served in Vietnam, as a pilot with the 101st Airborne. – Bear
