The Gorge Zipline
Project Overview
We designed and built The Gorge Zipline Canopy Tour, celebrated as America’s steepest and fastest zipline canopy tour. The course plunges over 1,100 vertical feet, spanning more than 11 exhilarating ziplines through pristine old-growth forest. Riders traverse a dramatic sky bridge and descend via three rappels, all while enjoying sweeping views across the Green River Gamelands.
Key Features & Adventure Elements
- 11 steep and fast ziplines, totaling over 1.25 miles, delivering unparalleled speed and thrill.
- A striking sky bridge offering breathtaking aerial views and memorable moments.
- Three huge rappels that add depth and excitement to the descent experience.
- Crafted within a beautiful old-growth forest, overlooking 18,000 acres of protected Green River Gamelands.
- Operated with hands-free braking systems and led by expert Canopy Guides for safety and guest confidence.
Why This Project Stands Out
- World-class adventure design — melding steep ziplines, rappels, and sky bridge features into a cohesive canopy experience.
- Natural integration — positioned dramatically in the Green River Gorge to offer spectacular forest views and vertical thrill.
- Proven performance — consistently named among USA Today’s “10 Best Aerial Adventure Parks in the U.S.”, a distinction maintained for over a decade.
- Guest-focused experience — strong emphasis on safety, guided support, and accessible design makes this course both thrilling and welcoming.
