Zipline Adventures - 3 World Class Options
About Zip Line Rides: Zip lines provide a unique experience and view of nature's ecosystems
below. Zip lines are designed to allow a person to strap on to a cable connecting two points, one
below the other, and use gravity to propel the person to the lower point. They are natures own
entertainment without engines or technology, gravity and your own momentum drive the thrill !
Located in areas with tall trees and foliage, as trees provide the best anchors for zip line adventures.
Zipline rides take advantage of long slopes where there can be many zip lines mounted in a row
delivering the participants from platform to platform. As the foliage and ecosystems below are often
dense and difficult to navigate, zip lines give a unique perspective looking down onto the undisturbed
ground below.
Zipline adventure operations utilize secure harnesses, helmet, and safety equipment to ensure a
safe ride as they can be very high up and cover significant distances. Zipline rides have been
growing in popularity as the equipment becomes easier to use and visitors increasingly look for ways
to partake in eco-tourism and active adventure activities. Mexico and Costa Rica provide many zip
line adventures, also known as canopy tours, which take participants through and over the rain
forest below. However the Mt. St. Helens region offers zipline participants a much more convenient
and affordable experience.
Zip lines are an exciting adventure that can be experienced by any age of adventurer. It is a great
family activity that can be enjoyed rain or shine. Experience the thrill yourself of flying through the
trees, suspended above the ground as the wind blows your hair back while whisking towards the next
platform - where you start over again.
In addition to the regions Zip Line tours other area adventures include Climbing the Crater, Mount
Rainier climbing expeditions, and the much easier Ape caves.
We invite you to try out one of the adventures on your next visit to Mt. St. Helens, Mount
Rainier, or the Scenic Columbia River Gorge.
Your Adventure awaits ! It's Awesome.
