Ziplining in the Canopy of Trees


We are like monkeys in trees except we are double harnessed to lines that take us from tree to tree. No swinging involved, just zipping along with the greatest of ease! We begin to zipline a very short distance with very little height from the ground. We are taught posture and technique. Gradually each "step" of the way (we literally climb steps up to the next zipline platform), we go higher and faster. We reach a total distance about 90 feet in the air in the "Canopy" of the Trees and a top speed of about 55 MPH! We would do again!
