is there a beginning zipline

[Traveller20074]

in any of the ports? We're doing Glacier Bay - Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan. probably wouldn't have much time in Ketchikan, as we're doing the Aleutian Ballad....

 

 

something not too high, or in levels lol I've been trying to find one, but they all seem a bit extreme...

I am booked with Grizzly Falls in Skagway. They have a lower minimum weight then all the other Alaska ziplines. I sure hope it's not too extreme!

Look into Bear Creek Zip Line Adventures in Ketchikan. It has 2 courses, doesn't look at extreme as the one in Skagway.

check out Alaska Zip in Juneau. Beautiful setting at Eaglecrest where the locals ski in the winter you will find in the rainforest tree tops the zipline. Check out their website for the details. alaskazip dot com

I've done alaska Zipline adventure at eaglecrest in Juneau. Loved it. It's a canopy tour where you zip between trees. Doesn't feel extreme and scenery is beautiful.

The Bear Creek zipline in Ketchikan was designed especially for beginners.

I just barely make the pound requirement usually.....250 is the higher limit on the ones I've seen...

[Traveller20074]

thanks for the ideas!

 

 

although, Ketchikan is from 6 am to 1 pm, and we're doing the Aleutian Ballad..not sure there would be time, but I'll check :)

The adventure park and zipline looks to be pretty toned down, 3 ropes course activites to warm you up and only 6 lines

When my grandson was 9 he came for a visit & we went to Alaska Zip. He was ready to zip before several of the adults in the group! Checking Alaska Zip's description on their website it says, "Remember, this tour is designed for people 9 years of age or above who weigh between 70-250 lbs."

 

If zipping is something your grandson wants to do, then go zipping!! It's great fun and is now something we look for when we meet up for family vacations.
