What about swinging bridges in Alaska?
The swinging bridges in Alaska (also known as suspension bridges or foot bridges) that weave their way through the rainforest in Juneau are not for the faint of heart. You’ll be gripping the ropes as you cross from one tree to the next, hoping a gust of wind doesn’t hit you from out of nowhere.
