What is a Zipline?

A zipline consists of a cable or series of cables mounted on slight inclines that allow movement from one end to the other. They have been around a long time, sometimes used instead of bridges in remote mountain areas or to move supplies from one side of a river to the other. Zipline participants attach their harness to a pulley that is mounted on the cable, using the force of gravity to traverse the line from top to bottom. Some ziplines go over canyons, starting on the canyon rim while others start on manmade towers that participants climbs to initially gain height. All this sounds technical and of course, does not describe the fun part — the absolute thrill of flying through the air and screaming with delight! And don’t worry, we do teach you how to stop.

What is a Challenge Course?

A challenge course is designed to provide outdoor personal development and team building through high elements — that is, ropes and towers over 35 feet high. Our ropes course is built for both the challenge and for fun! A series of cables stretching between towers form an assortment of different elements. You’ll be harnessed and secured on a rope belay system as you move through the course. Our several different features are designed to test your skill, balance, nerves and strength.

Who can participate?

Kids of all ages are welcome! Our minimum height of 48 inches, and a minimum weight of 65 pounds and a maximum weight of 275 pounds, are requirements. All children must be accompanied by a participating adult. Please call our office with any questions. Participants must be able to fit into our harnesses and be in good health. If you are pregnant, have heart trouble or other medical concerns, please consult your doctor before participating. You will need to sign an Assumption of Risk Waiver.

What should I wear?

Because you’ll be wearing a climbing harness, we recommend pants but knee-length shorts are fine. No loose clothing or jewelry. And please pull back your long hair. For your safety, bare feet, sandals and flip flips are not allowed. Closed-toe shoes are required. Sorry, no Crocs! We also suggest a strap for your sunglasses/glasses.

What if it rains?

A little rain won’t stop the fun! However, we will delay/cancel a trip due to high winds and/or lightening.

Can I bring my camera?

Since we can’t retrieve cameras dropped in the river, we have hired professional photographers to record your memories. They will capture the expression of your kids’ faces as they scream across the zipline! Be sure to stop by the front desk to review your photo CD available for purchase.

Is it safe?

Safety is our number one concern! We use only the highest quality equipment and our course has been designed, constructed and inspected by Adventure Experience, Inc. a professional vendor member of the Association for Challenge Course Technology. Our zipline and ropes course staff is fully trained to ACCT standards, and inspects the course and gear daily. As with any outdoor adventure experience, some inherent risk is involved.
