Alaska: Zip Line at Icy Strait Point, Hoonah Alaska

[@dc5grl]

Wow - I had no idea that so many folks have watched this - I posted it over 7 years ago as a remembrance/tribute to my late husband Craig and our last trip to Alaska together - and pretty much sat without any hits for YEARS! - but now with so many views I added chapters to it and you can just skip to the launch chapter (2:05 )without sitting through the zip line folks getting everyone strapped in. Thanks for watching - p.s. The ' Largest Zip Line' is what they told us at the time - May of 2014

[@Abdullah_Al_Saud]

KZbin recommended this video to everyone who watched a single video of Zip Line. Feeling sad to know what happened to your husband, Craig. Lastly, thanks for adding Chapters.

[@JB-ug5mf]

Nice tribute for your husband. Thank you for posting it. Sorry for your loss. The view must have been anazing! I'm not a fan of scary rides but this would be an experience to see it. I hope you're doing well. Greetings from PA. 😀

[@kayakinggrandmakelly7105]

Wow! Thanks for taking me along , much safer and cheaper for me to ride virtually

[@djSpinege]

I am so proud of my home and my relatives who made all this possible for my people,it is an accomplishment to make such leaps and still keep our ways and our land way too go Aunt Joyce ,may creator bless all you do ,keep up the good work

[@user-dm8kz8ul8h]

The culture way up north is so unique, and so hardcore. You can’t say enough about those who built those communities, especially those zip lines

[@williamhoitink3658]

We did this zip line also on a royal Caribbean cruise through Alaska

[@BillFromTheHill100]

Shut up....nobody cares

[@unclexeres]

Win-Win, tourists get to enjoy the area and locals get jobs. Looking forward to going again.

Beautiful view of the water and mountains. Alaska is so scenic.

This ziplines and the background almost makes it look like a hologram. Cool to see.

[@hostagekiller5671]

I'm glad you like rollercoasters

[@urbanloverman]

Absolutely love ziplines and this one is huge. I rode 2 ziplines in Philippines 🇵🇭 between islands 🏝 but this 6 line monster is the best I've seen.

[@Kraze777]

“Most excellent” love the bill and ted call back.

[@Jeanclaudevanderfield]

Actual zipline takeoff at 2:07 if you want to skip to it. Pretty awesome ride!

Hello, do I know you? Have we met before?

[@caze3154]

This looks incredible!!

[@HighlanderNorth1]

🤔 Yeah, for a minute there I thought this video was taken here in Wilmington Delaware. But then I realized the mountains in ^this video are only about 1/3 the size of Delaware's coastal alpine range. Our zip lines start at 19,000 feet of altitude, and end when you splash into the Sea of New Jersey. 😉

[@istvanszabo3229]

If I know well, as of 2021 the longest zipline in North America is the Catamount zipline in Upstate NY.

[@castelnedd]

That is fricking Amazing 👏 😍

[@yabbadabbadoo8225]

Should rig one up on Mt Everest!!

[@longwindingroad]

I don't anything about mountain climbing but your idea sounds great to be used for emergencies. Set them up at different levels. Similar to a ski lift.

[@TheStockwell]

At 1:49 I would've been whimpering, "If you don't pull that release rope, I'll give you my wallet, my car, and a shoe-box full of cocaine."

[@hameemhalim]

Amazing!! I'd love to try it

[@danh9503]

Scared of heights but would love to do this lol

[@AdamJWM]

I have been on the worlds long zip line too in Thailand near Chiang Mai. It wasn’t continuous it it car over 5km I think. It had a bunch of platforms through the jungle canopy. This look was more exhilarating!

[@jamesblunt3093]

Would love to visit one day. Cheers from Poland.

[@dc5grl]

Go for it!

[@kwv4865]

Largest or the longest zip line?

[@chimpy9222]

How awesome that looks but, uh - Is it me, or do those bearings sound dry.... ? I'd suggest a good repack before they fail and leave someone stuck or worse. Debbie Downer , anyone ? Cheers

[@TheMan-ue7ri]

They are sealed bearings

[@SmackWaterMack001]

Begins at 2:07

[@outdooroutlaws9588]

I'm afraid of heights, but this looks fun.

[@tktrades4148]

Now that is awesome!

[@millicentsquirrelhole582]

A new feature has been added to the Icy Zip fun...folks can order online the special 'Pugil Stick Special Edition'...participants are encouraged to pummel fellow riders with the pugil sticks and no helmets or chest protectors allowed during the walloping...

[@secretsix43]

Maybe it's due to the shape of the camera lens or the angle but the end of this zipline doesn't look safe at all. If you didn't pull your feet up in time they might've smashed right into the ground, at least that's how it looks.

[@jetttskiman]

Awesome! Bird strike would probably hurt.

[@GeorgeJansen]

Love the braking system

[@mikebarton]

Isn't that something?! 👍👍👍

[@RBond-vv5rf]

I live in Juneau and have taken all my friends that visit there heck of a ride would recommend it to anyone

[@PS-Straya_M8]

Red got the speedy line! ..

[@jonathanmorgan83]

… good fun but start watching at the 2minute mark!!… nothing happens before then!

[@ThillerKillerX]

Did this in the smokies it was awesome but this is a whole nother level

[@cadilacdesert]

Super cool man!! You can totally hear the bearings

[@V8freaks]

Thats the sound the rollers produce on the steel wire rope because of it's twisted strands, producing an uneven surface, totally normal

[@dreday4177]

I did the royal gorge zipline. Over 1k feet over canyon.

[@Mightiflier]

Cool run

[@Dinkdoo96]

This just popped up in my recommended 👌

[@tominmtnvw]

A little info would be nice, like how long is the zip line and how fast do the riders go. Also, you can edit out the 1st part of the video since nothing happens until half way through.

[@rocco2246]

Helicopter, I was on the maintenance crew when it was being built. So we got to help build it and watch the Heli take the cable up to the top. Was a fun job and lots of good memories working there.
