For those that have ziplined in Icy Strait Point

[kfleck76]

I'll be zip lining for the first time in Icy Strait Point. Does anyone know what you do with a backpack if you take it on the excursion? Can you wear it riding down or can it be left in the bus that takes you up, etc? Any help appreciated.

You leave the backpack at the counter/cashier in the Fish House where they pick you up for the shuttle. It's about a 45 minute ride up to the top on an old school bus. They were having problems the day we were there and only running 3 out of the 6 lines half the time (problem retrieving the harnesses not with the ziplines themselves. We got bumped from 11:15 to noon, but there were people in our group that had been bumped from 9:45 to noon. Their scale seems to be a little "generous" as well, so if you are already close to the max weight limit, you might be over on their scale!
