More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a wooden sky bridge, pine resin in the air and the Gallatin River roaring below, and the canyon seems to lean in to watch. Platforms sit roughly 55 feet above the forest floor; two main zip lines carry you across the current, the limestone cliffs on either bank reminding you the river has cut this route for millennia.

Know the weight limit
Max participant weight is 260 lbs; staff will confirm weight at booking and check-in—no exceptions for safety reasons.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes improve landing stability on platforms and optional bridge elements.
Time for light and wind
Choose morning slots for calmer winds and softer light; afternoons can be windier which may delay or alter runs.
Hydrate and protect from sun
Bring a small water bottle and sunscreen—the canyon reflects sunlight and zips generate wind that can raise dehydration risk.
Closed-toe hiking shoes
Grip and ankle support make platform transitions and short approaches safer.
Light, windproof jacket
Wind gusts in the canyon can be strong; a packable jacket adds comfort during waits.
