Alaska Zipline Adventure Park is a Palmer, Alaska outfitter that operates guided zipline tours and horseback riding experiences at Sunderland Ranch. The business combines scenic horseback trail rides on well-mannered quarter horses with aerial zipline tours that showcase the lower foothills of Red Mountain and surrounding Alaska scenery. Guests can choose a Horse Back Riding and Alaska Zipline Adventure Combo that pairs a scenic horseback ride through Red Mountain with a zipline tour featuring six tandem lines and three aerial bridges. Trail ride options include a 1.5 Hour Trail Ride ($159.00) that explores streams and lower foothills under the guidance of experienced wranglers, and a 2 Hour Trail Ride ($195) designed to fit group skill levels while maximizing time in the saddle. The ranch also offers a Homestead Tour with gold panning. That guided experience includes meeting horses, viewing ranch operations from Hummers, learning about farming equipment and local history, and gold panning with Legendary Prospector Wick Sunderland. Alaska Zipline Adventure Park positions its offerings for families and groups seeking a mix of outdoor excitement and ranch heritage. Operations are led by ranch staff and guides who run both the equestrian routes and the zipline courses at Sunderland Ranch near Palmer.
