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.
