The first time we visited Icy Strait Point, outside Hoonah in Alaska, we didn’t have time to try out the colossal, six-cable ZipRider zipline. When we returned last year, the very first thing we did was set this straight!
Look carefully and you can see the cables (each is 5495 feet long!)
The ZipRider launch station, 1320 feet above where we’re standing!
That’ll be us in a little while!
Up above the clouds
The launch platform, 1320 feet above the sea
Our turn next!
Lines into nothingness – although I can just about see the sea
Sue looks a little nervous 😉
We’re off!
Erm… where did our cables go?
The view’s not so great…
Through the clouds
I take it back about the view!
Almost down… can we go again?!

This week’s post was inspired by the themes Lines from Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, Panoramic from Maria of City Sonnet, Back Catalog from Frank of Dutch Goes The Photo, and Which Way from San of Alive and Trekking.
That looks like so much fun!!
It was fantastic, San!
I bet it was! 🙂
Wow! I LOVE zips! Did some in Thailand over the jungle (Flight of the Gibbon in Chiang Mai) and it was fabtabulous! Great photos, and thank you for the memories … 🙂
I love zips too, Na’ama. The best one I ever did was Superman style in Puerto Rico: https://jaspasjourney.wordpress.com/2014/09/21/zipping-around-the-world/
OH!!!! Bucket list getting bigger. Need bigger bucket.
Always!
🙂

Fun and fast, Cee!
