11 ziplines span 1.25 miles of old-growth forest hidden below a verdant canopy – The Gorge Zipline Canopy Adventure takes adventurers on a 1.25 mile journey above the canopies covering an old growth forest. Descend more than 1,000 feet across 11 ziplines, rappel from daunting heights, and uncover electrifying panoramic views of the Green River Gorge at the sky bridge. Experienced guides are there to facilitate your zipline canopy adventure at several junctures or snap a picture of your group from an awe-inspiring vantage point.
If The Gorge Zipline Canopy Adventure has only whetted your thrill-seeking appetite, strap on your lifejacket for “rough” waters ahead! Sister company Green River Adventures is the best destination in the area for whitewater rafting, waterfall rappelling, and more aquatic fun.
Enjoy incredible mountain views as you zip line into The Gorge!
All adventures are labeled according to activity level, adrenaline level, and experience level. The Upper Green River guided whitewater rafting trek is ideal for thrill-seekers ages 16 and up who want to take on Level II-III rapids in one of the steepest portions of the river.
