The Adventure

Fly through the old-growth canopy.

Strap in and soar. This guided three-hour tour sends you across nine progressively bigger zip lines and a swaying suspension bridge, threading 200-foot Douglas firs and crossing a granite gorge with the whole Bitterroot Valley spread out below. Two certified guides run every tour — one leads, one sweeps — so first-timers and adrenaline junkies are equally at home.

No experience needed. We handle the harness, the helmet, the technique, and the safety checks; you handle the whooping. By the final 1,800-foot line you'll be flying tree-to-tree like you were born up there.

What to Expect
0:00 Check-In & Gear-Up
Meet at the base lodge, sign in, and get fitted for harness and helmet. Your guides run a hands-on ground-school on braking and form.
0:30 The Training Line
A short, low practice zip just off the deck — get the feel for flying and stopping before the real heights begin.
0:50 Into the Canopy
Lines two through six climb steadily higher through the old-growth, each longer and faster than the last, with platform views over the valley.
1:45 The Suspension Bridge
A 120-foot swaying sky-bridge across the granite gorge — the heart-in-throat midpoint of the tour.
2:20 The Big Finish
The final 1,800-foot dual racing line sends you screaming across the gorge with the whole Bitterroot below. Then a short hike back to the lodge.

Guest Stories
Terrified at line one, addicted by line four. The guides were hilarious and made my nervous teenager feel completely safe. That final racing line is unreal.

Best thing we did on our Montana trip. The suspension bridge had my heart pounding and the views from the top platforms are worth the price alone.

Before You Book

None whatsoever. Most of our flyers have never zip-lined before. Your guides teach you everything on the ground and on a low practice line before you ever leave a high platform — by the end you'll feel like a pro.

Flyers must be at least 10 years old and between 70 and 270 lbs to fit our harness system safely. Anyone under 18 needs a waiver signed by a parent or guardian, and kids under 16 should be accompanied by an adult on the tour.

We run rain or shine — a little weather makes it more fun. We only pause for lightning or high wind. If we have to cancel for safety, you can reschedule for free or take a full refund, your choice.

Only securely-tethered or chest-strapped cameras (like a GoPro) are allowed on the lines — anything that can drop stays in a free locker at the base. Your guides are happy to grab photos of your group from the platforms.

Yes — private tours are perfect for families, birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and corporate outings. Tell us your group size and preferred date and we'll set you up with your own departure and guides.

Daily departures fill fast in summer. Grab your spots in the canopy.
