Fly through lodgepole pines on a six-line zip tour in Cypress Hills that mixes short hikes, sky bridges and engineered climbs. This family-friendly afternoon run highlights the park’s high-elevation forests with clear safety protocols and local storytelling.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the parking area and the lodgepole pines close in like an audience — the wind threads through needles and the forest seems to dare you to move faster. After a professional check-in and harnessing, guides lead the group a short walk to the first platform where the first line launches you 20–70 feet above the forest floor.
