People of all ages want adventures and thrills in life. Zip lines are a relatively new form of outdoor adventure and should be added to the list. The experience is popular and a great way to see the outdoors and the rich natural diversity of Asheville's mountainous landscape on a last minute vacation. The zip line phenomenon is sweeping the globe and a relatively new activity for the Asheville area, with the first zip lines built just a couple of years ago.
A zip line canopy tour will send the 'flyer' safely down a secure cable in mid-air above and/or through the treetops. The flyer wears a helmet, gloves, and harness and is oriented by an experienced guide. You will begin and end on a platform. The average distance covered on the zip line will be anywhere from 400 to 1200 feet.
Flyers have a nice view of the skyline from the treetops and you can get an experience of wildlife and natural colors from a bird's eye viewpoint. The adrenaline rush of flying through the air is enough to inspire some thrill seekers to try a zip line wherever their last minute vacation travel takes them.
You can observe an abundance of forests, meadows, rollicking streams and rivers in the Asheville area on your last minute holiday getaway which makes the zip line experience especially rich in scenery and natural colors. Physical health and weight will be factors in deciding to ride a zip line and most of the zip line tours will not place upper age restrictions on flyers. You fly at your own risk and will be asked to sign a waiver of liability before engaging in this activity.
