You step onto the first platform with the ridge wind at your back and the Green River roaring far below. The trees seem to lean in to watch as you clip into the harness; guides double-check connections and point down the line where the forest opens into a dramatic cut of rock and water. Over the next 3.5–4 hours you move from tree-sprung platforms to a cable that pulls you over a 1,100-foot vertical drop, covering 1.25 miles of flying across 11 ziplines, pausing for three big rappels and a sky bridge that pins your view to 18,000 acres of protected forest.
