Select participants and date
The van jerks onto a dirt track and the pines close ranks, leaning like an audience waiting for the act. Up here the air is thinner and cooler; it smells of resin and dust and the distant lake that reflects the sky like a mirror. Guides click harnesses, hand out helmets, and a hush falls over the group as the first person steps off the launch deck. For three hours the mountain becomes a conveyor of adrenaline—nine ziplines that drop, curve, and accelerate you toward the valley below while a suspension bridge lets the forest itself measure your nerve.

Adventure Tips
Respect the weight & height limits
The tour enforces a 65–250 lb range and a 6'6" height maximum for safety—verify your weight at booking and arrive prepared.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sneakers or hiking shoes are required—no sandals or flip-flops—because you’ll walk uneven terrain and climb stairs.
Secure small items
Phones and cameras must be tethered or left in lockers; loose items can be lost or pose safety risks on the lines.
Arrive early to complete forms
Check in 15–20 minutes before departure to sign waivers and view the safety briefing; tours leave on time.
