After relishing a leisurely lunch and scouting for bighorn sheep, you'll head to Captain Zipline, situated just 25 minutes from our rafting office off of US Hwy 50. In the belly of the massive Lost Canyon, the Canyon Aerial Course stands tall on 60-foot telephone poles. With 9 different courses in the complex, all labeled based on difficulty levels utilized at ski resorts, there's something for everyone.
To participate in either river option, you must be at least 8 years of age, weigh at least 70 lbs, and not exceed a maximum weight of 250 lbs. Additionally, each participant must be capable of reaching 60 inches while standing flat-footed, and reasonable health and fitness are required.
