Launch from a working Alaska ranch and glide across a 900-foot canyon on six tandem zips with views of the Mat-Su Valley. This guided, two-hour experience pairs adrenaline with accessible logistics — helmets, gloves and harnesses provided.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The wind off the Mat-Su Valley pushes through the spruce as you climb into a modified Hummer and roll across a working Alaska ranch — hayfields passing like green waves, horses lifting their heads. At the first tower your feet leave the platform and you don’t touch ground again until a quiet private pond greets your landing. Six tandem zips and three elevated walking bridges thread a 900-foot canyon and cross salmon-bearing creeks; the landscape alternates between tree-top corridors and sweeping views of the valley and surrounding peaks.
