You clip in at a timbered platform and the high-country wind immediately becomes part of the ride, tugging at your jacket as you launch over a stand of pines and red rock gullies. Twelve ziplines stitch together ridgelines and treetops, each run shifting speed and sightline—some low and forested, others stretched long and fast with mountain views that push your eyes toward the horizon. The course finishes theatrically: a glide back to a rooftop patio or a 40-foot tower freefall that drops your stomach and then hands you back to solid ground.
