A ride on the zip line at Icy Strait Point, Hoonah, Alaska. This is a Go Pro video taken by my husband Craig. The zip line is a mile long, 1300 feet up and 60 mph - we had a great time!
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
RUclips 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.
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. 😀
This is how we get to work in Alaska.
Wow! Thanks for taking me along , much safer and cheaper for me to ride virtually
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
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
We did this zip line also on a royal Caribbean cruise through Alaska
Shut up....nobody cares
Win-Win, tourists get to enjoy the area and locals get jobs.
Looking forward to going again.

🙈 sitting waiting ... what the hell is this?? 😂🤣
@@cdncdt5570 like actually lmfao
Actually it starts at 00:00 😆😉
i love coasters too. keeping my table ring free while looking stylish.
*your moms table.
This took me too long to understand 😄
This ziplines and the background almost makes it look like a hologram. Cool to see.
I'm glad you like rollercoasters
Beautiful view of the water and mountains. Alaska is so scenic.
Thanks for sharing. I’ll add this to my bucket list!
Beautiful!!! Looks like a blast!
“Most excellent” love the bill and ted call back.
I love this place! Is an amazing feeling coming down too
Actual zipline takeoff at 2:07 if you want to skip to it. Pretty awesome ride!
Thanks
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.
Amazing!! I'd love to try it
I did this 3 years ago....it was AWESOME!! 😍
Yes it was!
That looks super fast!!! That looks so fun!!!
This looks incredible!!
🤔 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. 😉
I wish I knew about this when I lived in Anchorage, I would have taken a trip over there! Looks very fun!
This was spectacular..I vomited twice but man what an amazing view
Hello there Leslie nice meeting you here
@@justiceharrison5142 hello..nice meeting you as well love :)
@@lesliecalvert3458 how are you doing today?
Loved it!!!
Hello there Anne nice meeting you here
That is fricking Amazing 👏 😍
Now that is awesome!
Jobs for the local Tlingit Indians, Fantastic!! Great deer hunting out there just beware, lots of Brown Bears in the area. I lived in Southeast Alaska for 10 years, and the state of Alaska for 37 years..
Hi..do you miss those times where you are now?
*Native Americans
wow this looks incredible and awesome views too great share 🙂👍
Thanks so much!
My knees got weak just WATCHING this. There's no way I could ever do it. Consciously anyway...
Hello there Lacy nice meeting you here
Hello, do I know you? Have we met before?
Very cool!
Isn't that something?! 👍👍👍
Awesome! Bird strike would probably hurt.
Love the braking system
Would love to visit one day. Cheers from Poland.
Go for it!
Red got the speedy line! ..
Espectacular
Should rig one up on Mt Everest!!
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.
If I know well, as of 2021 the longest zipline in North America is the Catamount zipline in Upstate NY.
Most Excellent
Largest or the longest zip line?
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!
This just popped up in my recommended 👌
Cool run
that is awesome
I'm afraid of heights, but this looks fun.
Epic!
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.
Very cool
Scared of heights but would love to do this lol
Did this in the smokies it was awesome but this is a whole nother level
3:23 OUCH!
I live in Juneau and have taken all my friends that visit there heck of a ride would recommend it to anyone
Would love to try it
Super cool man!! You can totally hear the bearings
Thats the sound the rollers produce on the steel wire rope because of it's twisted strands, producing an uneven surface, totally normal
Begins at 2:07
Holy moly
… good fun but start watching at the 2minute mark!!… nothing happens before then!
I did the royal gorge zipline. Over 1k feet over canyon.
That's cool
it was fun
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...
I've seen it and that's good enough. lol
I wanted to do this when I was there but got talked out of it!
I rode that one in 2017 and it was a blast. The worlds longest I believe, at that time anyway. Lots of grizzly bears up top there.
Wow.
Hello
SugarDust, is it possible to contact you regarding this video (i.e. via email)? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible to discuss? :) Cheers, Felix
How is it a fail?
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
They are sealed bearings
Impressive ride.
How do those slow down?
That one tight cable
Grease the bearings!!!,🤠
Largest of longest?
WOW
Cool
Where exactly is this located at
How do you go up??
Wow
How did they get the cables in place?
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.
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."
No Superman option?
sounded like an airplane
Video starts at 2:07

The wait was the worst! Made me nervous!
Beautiful view and scenery but fuck that I can’t imagine if something went wrong on your harness somehow breaks and you fall getting impaled by a tree.
2 minutes before something happens!
Nooooope I'd never
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz oh, finally some action
Start at 2:08
Did you know that cables are supposed to be changed every 3 ro 5 yrs....at least for ski ...could ya check into this.....new things in the air
How much does it cost to ride?
Reminds me of South Park.
Starts at 2min
Starts at 2:05.
2:05 Your welcome
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.
Dude, this video has 7 years
