About the Area

All ziplines are located in Quiet Canyon, dominated by the North Lajitas Mesa and its prominent shape that can be seen from miles away. Volcanic activity shaped what we can see today over 30 million years ago, with many different colors and shades whose appearance changes with the differing light conditions. A plethora of amazing rocks and petrified wood cover the surface of the desert, it’s like walking through a gem mine! Common plants found are the Creosote Bush, Ocotillo Cactus, Prickly Pear, Candelilla and Mesquite. Red tailed hawks often can be seen soaring overhead and road runner, dove and blue quail can be spotted in the underbrush. Aoudad Sheep regularly make an appearance on the canyon ridges and there have been sightings of mountain lion in the area. Javelina can be spotted early morning and evening making their way through the canyon floor. Breathtaking views across the Rio Grande and views of the distant mountain ranges are a delight to behold.
