Bear Creek Zipline

[sue1898]

I'm looking for a report from someone that has done this. I'm not going until late August but my friend really wants to do it and I'm not so sure. The description says they take as young as 6 year olds so I figure how bad can it be but I'm not great with such adventuresome activities and would appreciate a real life report. Thanks.

We have Canopy Adventures scheduled for June.

I did a lot of research and asked a lot of questions before I would tell my sister that I would do it. I am 62, she is 52, but she plays tennis a lot, I am on my feet all day, so I figured if it wasnt to terribley physically demanding, I would be okay. There are two in Ketchikan, and the other one I was told had more "rope obstacles"....I am not sure what that means, but Canopy Adventures has 8 zips, and the last one they call Ben's Revenge, because it is so long. Also, the site has a video you can watch, and if you do a search on youtube, you will see some more details of what all is involved. It really helped me decide to go ahead and do it, and in fact, looking forward to it!!
