Our Zipline is part historic trail hike, part challenge course, this unique, sustainable eco-adventure is 100% fun! Expect to exercise and reach new heights on a series of engineered Ziplines, Skybridges and Tree Platforms suspended well above the forest floor. Tour is operated in a historic mining district over active claims, cascading waterfalls and every shade of green. Glacier Valley views and interpretation by our friendly, knowledgeable local guide staff make this a real outing! The eco-tour is comprised of elements which require the use of climbing harnesses and related gear for which you will be instructed in proper techniques. Make no mistake, a reasonable level of fitness and courage is prerequisite for elevated challenge course elements and the hike in! This is an all-weather activity, so please dress appropriately. Beware: it rains in a rainforest! Did we mention this activity takes you high into the trees? Are you afraid of heights? Please consider this before you make your reservation. After departure refunds cannot be given if you decide to not participate for any reason whatsoever. Operations daily 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM under USFS Permit.
Tandem paragliding occurs after a scenic ride up the Aerial Tramway at Alyeska Resort, and a short briefing including an introduction to paragliding basics. Before you know it, you've completed a thorough briefing and are hooked into a special paragliding harness. Adrenaline is pumping through your body, and the excitement level is high. Looking down the slope you realize you are about to run off the side of a mountain! You will be outfitted in a helmet and harness in preparation for the experience of a lifetime. Flight times 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, weather permitting, from late May until the end of September.
