Zip tours – sounds like fun

Post by RoundEye »

If I can make it to the top of the towers, I’m going. The “F” run is friggen 1600 feet.

My 2 sons and I did that when we were on vacation in Deep Creek. We all loved it, exciting, scary, what a rush.

It’s only a little over an hour from my house. I think it would be a fun adventure. You start and stop near the same spot, with multiple zip lines in-between.

Yea I think we had a total of 6 stations, the bigger you are the faster you go. :D
Each station was on a pole about 30' in the air, between the poles there were different challenges to get to the next station, ie rope bridge, rope net to climb, etc. None of those were too difficult.

Always liked zip lines.

Only big one I did, with a safety harness and all, was on a ropes course with Outward Bound as a kid. Lots of fun. Involved a "leap of faith"
