What is Ziplining?
Ziplining is a high-adventure sport quickly becoming one of the fastest growing thrill activities. It consists of a pulley suspended on a cable mounted on an incline. The zipline is designed to allow the user, propelled by gravity, to travel from the top to the bottom of the incline. A cable attached to a free moving pulley and harness is attached for a rider. Thrill seekers and nature lovers alike love this experience.

After being introduced to our guides, and signing out consent forms we were outfitted with our harnesses and safety equipment. Our guides made the day even more enjoyable by joking around, which made us feel more at ease. At the same time they never let us go without complete safety checks along the entire course. They were friendly and knowledgeable but safety was their first priority.

That looks like a lot of fun!
It was great fun and thrilling at the same time, we can’t wait to go again!
I love to think I’d be able to do this but being a little scared of heights I’m not so sure! Great photos!
Thanks, Becky! I know what you mean about being a little scared of heights and that’s ok. I’m also a little afraid of heights and I did just fine. If you have a chance to try ziplining please do, I bet you’ll love it!!
That looks like fun, though I don’t know if I’d have the courage to attempt it!
Oh Val, it was fun and I felt the same way as you until I actually did it. If you have the opportunity to go ziplining please consider it, with your spirit I’m sure you’d love it just like I did!!
This truly was an amazing experience!! The scenery was beautiful. The staff was wonderful! They made us all feel very comfortable and safe, which was good or I may not have repelled down and would still be up there!! The photographers took many pictures that did a great job of capturing our experience for us!!
Hi Taylor! It sure was an amazing experience and I’m so glad we were all able to enjoy it together. I agree about the repelling because I think I would still be up there with you!! LOL!
This is definitely a “Bucket List” item! What a great way for friends and family to spend the day. Good for you embracing such an adventure!
It really is Deborah, one I think everyone should have on their “Bucket List” for sure! Thanks for the encouragement, I’m really looking forward to going again!
