On the edge of Barron Mountain, 10 minutes
from Lincoln,
in the tallest pines and hemlocks, platforms have been built.
From platform to platform, strong cables are connected.
Each tree and platform are slightly lower down the mountain,
allowing gravity to be the main power source
of the zip-line experience.
With well trained staff
and specially crafted
safety equipment including a harness similar to a rock
climbers, you are clipped onto the line and zip down
from one platform to the next.
FAQs
There are 7 zip-lines totaling
over 2000' of exhilaration. Platforms are 15' to 65' high in
the trees and the zip-lines are 100' to 700' long.
"Treewalk Village"
offers spectacular views of the western Whites, as well as 4
non-belayed bridges, tree platforms and zip-line #1 that begins
your ascent.
Alpine Adventures' Zip-line
Canopy Tour is located on a 1700' hilltop consisting of 300 private
acres just 10 minutes south of Loon Mountain and Franconia Notch.
Our zip-line course was constructed
with 1/2" aircraft grade steel cable suspended between trees
and rigging poles allowing guests to glide through the air using
a pulley and climbing harness,
conforming to ACCT standards for load capacity.
Due to the gravity-fed nature
of our course, starting at 1600' in elevation, and for the safety
of our guests, there are weight requirements. Participants need
to weigh between 70 and 240 lbs. There is an informal "weigh-in"
at the office. Click
here for more important information.
Tour duration is approximately
2 hours, and includes a short shuttle in the Zip-line Limo Bus
and an off-road
Safari ride in our 6-wheel drive Pinzgauers.
Zip-line Treetop Tours run throughout the day, all year round,
and in almost all weather conditions. We will add more tour times
(every hour) through July and August and as demand warrants.
