Seasons for zip-lining usually start in March/April and extend out until Fall (November). Of course when zip-lining, you will have guides, but that will make those of us who are beginners, all the more comfortable. With the accompaniment of the guides, you will know proper safety techniques, you will never be up in a tree on a platform unclipped, and you will have the time of your life speeding through the canopies like a bird, with the wind whipping around you. There is nothing more exciting than being able to roam the wild wonders of the world, and to know that you are witnessing nature in its raw, untouched form. Adventure enthusiasts know what it is like to be out in the forest, or atop a spire, or raging down rapids, and get that feeling of ultimate release. With so many up-and-coming activities, as well as the timeless classics, reconnecting with the great outdoors has never been so easy. As the warm weather approaches, the stage of planning your next excursion arrives. Summer is the time to enjoy the sunshine, so whether you are looking for a simple stroll along a beaten trail or an unforgettable thrill-ride through the treetops, today is the best day for an expedition. Make the most of your time off and dive back into the untamable, where you can become one with the wind once again. From gorges to waterfalls, America has it all. ADVENTURE IS IN YOUR BACKYARD.
