Six Tandem Lines Over a 900-Foot Canyon in Alaska

You ride out on a modified Hummer across working ranch land, then zip 4,000 feet across six tandem lines suspended over a 900-foot canyon and salmon creeks. Three elevated bridges with floating stairs break up the zipping. All gear is provided, and you land at a private pond. The whole experience takes about four hours and requires moderate fitness.

The Experience

So you're standing on the first tower and your guide is going through the safety rundown, and you realize you're not touching ground again until you land at the private pond. The modified Hummer ride out to the ranch takes maybe twenty minutes — you'll pass hay fields and if you're lucky, horses — but once you clip in, the whole thing changes. Six tandem zips, 4,000 feet total, and you're strapped in with someone else the whole way, which sounds terrifying until you realize it's actually the thing that makes it work.

The canyon drop is the one everyone talks about. You zip over a 900-foot gap, then over salmon creeks, and the views don't stop — they just keep opening up from the moment you arrive on the property. Between the tandem lines there are three elevated walking bridges with floating stairs, which sounds worse than it is. Your guides handle all the gear swaps and give you everything you need to know before you go. Gloves and helmets are provided, and they're not messing around about the safety stuff.

The whole Alaska tandem zipline tour runs about four hours, and you need to be between 80 and 250 pounds to participate. If you've got moderate fitness and you're not pregnant, you're in the window. Public transportation options are nearby if you don't have a rental, though most people drive out to the ranch themselves.
