Zip Lines in the US of A


And here I thought these things only grew in rainforests. This gateway adventure sport lets you fly without all those inherent parachute/kite risks.

They're everywhere. Colorado, California, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Idaho, Texas, Utah and Hawaii all have lines in the "best of" category. Many places are only open during the summer months (especially true for ski resort lines).

So strap yourself into a harness, step off the platform, and remember to slow down eventually. Just don't slow down too soon. Pulling your weight to the next platform is especially fun if you're afraid of heights.
