All of your senses will be stimulated during this unique eco-adventure designed for small groups. After you arrive at the Eaglecrest Lodge ski area, you'll be outfitted in top-of-the-line gear and transferred to the zipline course. After a safety briefing you'll experience the thrill of traveling from tree to tree over multiple lines and crossing an aerial suspension bridge while surrounded by spectacular mountain views. Once your zipline tour is complete, try your hand at axe throwing before traveling to the majestic Mendenhall Glacier. Explore the many trails around the glacier, visit the Visitor Center for an elevated view of the glacier and a look at the interactive exhibits, and informative displays that showcase the awesome force of glaciers before the return trip to Juneau.
