Adventure Park & Zip-line - Skagway Alaska

Grizzly Falls Ziplining Expedition - Skagway, Alaska
Fast, fun, and exhilarating, this approximately 4 hour adventure is sure to excite nature lovers and thrill seekers alike! Get a running start on solid ground and take flight into the treetops of the Alaskan rainforest!
It all starts at your cruise dock when you meet up with your guide. From there, enjoy an entertaining historic tour through downtown Skagway then along 9 miles of stunning coastline. When you arrive at our base in Dyea, you will transfer into our customized unimog—an all-wheel drive vehicle necessary for getting up our rugged mountain road. During your adventurous ride up the mountain, look out at the impressive rainforest and glacially fed waterfalls. Get psyched—you're about to fly over this wild landscape!
At the top of the mountain, you will suit up in gear that meets the highest standards of safety while your highly trained guide tells you what to expect and how to safely navigate the course. You will then be lead to the take off zone, where you'll clip in and fly away! You'll soar through a course of 11 ziplines, the longest measuring 750ft—that's longer than 2 football fields combined! But this is more than just any zip course. Our lines will bring you directly above glacially fed waterfalls, so close you will actually feel the mist as you zoom by! For the more cautious adventurers, rest assured that you can always control your own speed with a brake system. But we double dog dare you to let go and zoom up to 45 miles per hour!
Of course, that's a little too fast to take those perfect pictures of the Alaskan wilderness. That's why we decided that a hardcore unimog and an 11 line zip course over waterfalls just isn't quite enough. So we added 4 state of the art suspension bridges. From these bridges, you'll be able to capture stunning photos of you and your loved ones in the heart of Alaska's wild beauty.
After completing the course, pat yourself on the back, say goodbye to your guides, and enjoy your last ride in the unimog to your bus at the bottom of the mountain. Take advantage of the scenic drive back to Skagway to look over your pictures and joke about who was the bravest zipliner. This is bound to be an E.X.C.U.R.S.I.O.N of a lifetime, one you will surely remember for years to come!

Skagway Alaska Travel Tips Alaska Cruises Ports
Skagway, Alaska is located at the upper end of the Inside Passage. Packable Backpack Skagway was a jumping off port for the Klondike Gold Rush, dating back to 1897. The town grew from a handful to 10,000 overnight as prospectors headed to the gold fields in search of fame and fortune. Most of Skagway's downtown is preserved and maintained so you can get a real sense of the 1890's. The White Pass and Yukon Narrow Gauge Railway departs from Skagway, and follows the Trail of '98. Flight seeing, helicopter sightseeing, kayaking, ziplining, sled dog rides, and fishing are among the great activities to try in Skagway. Skagway is a popular port of call for cruises to Alaska.

Ziplining in Juneau Alaska Rain Forest Canopy 2013
Our family had never ziplined before this time, on Alaska's Ultimate Canopy & Zipline Expedition operated by Alaska Canopy Adventures.
It was super fun and I can't think of a better introduction to ziplining than this one in Juneau, Alaska. No super long zips like you find other places, but instead 10 smaller ones through the Alaskan rain forest. We're all hooked now.
Longest zip at almost 800 ft (and best POV video I got) was Zip 8, at about 3:47.
Special thanks to our guides Sarah and Nano, who were simply outstanding.
▶️ Skagway Alaska Walking Tour
Port of Call from the cruise ship Star Princess.
From the website:
The port of Skagway is a popular stop for cruise ships, and the tourist trade is a big part of the business of Skagway. The White Pass and Yukon Route narrow gauge railroad, part of the area's mining past, is now in operation purely for the tourist trade and runs throughout the summer months. Skagway is also part of the setting for Jack London's book The Call of the Wild, Will Hobbs's book Jason's Gold, and for Joe Haldeman's novel Guardian, moreover, John Wayne's film North to Alaska was filmed nearby.

Cruising Alaska Ketchikan - Totem Bight Park
Hi Cruisers, in this short video (really just a few stills and clips) we take a look at Ketchikan and Totem Bight State Park.
If you’re cruising to Alaska, chances are, you’ll be stopping in Ketchikan. Situated at the southernmost entrance to Alaska’s inside passage, there’s so much to do and see here…from walking and shopping downtown to ziplining, checking out the salmon ladder, or catching a floatplane to Misty Fjords National Monument.
Our visit to Ketchikan took us to Totem Bight State Historical park, a gorgeous seaside 33 acre park showcasing 14 totem poles and a replica of a community house, or clanhouse.
We chose a ship tour, which started with a brief bus ride to the park. After a short nature walk, we heard stories about many of the poles- most of them quite tragic, and learned about the way the Klingit clans are divided into matrilineal groups.
A clanhouse of this size could have housed 30-50 people, with each family being allotted its own space around a central fireplace. Little ones will enjoy entering the house through the tiny entrance.
Speaking of kids, there are sticks to find and rocks to throw at the nearby scenic beach.

This was Jim's first day of zip lines, and we did six zip lines today, starting from easy, progressing to more and more difficult. It was an adrenaline rush all the way!
