The zip-line in Hoonah is high tech, but the emotions it evokes are primal. The platform is high, 1300 feet. You look out, and down, down, down. Everything is so far away, so small... Anticipation grows as each set of zippers flies off... so fast... And then the gate opens for you... Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Photographer: Bill Eichenlaub
