Ziplining—The Hiking Alternative
By Ross Bodhi Ogle
Posted on October 4, 2010
There's no doubt that hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains is one of the top activities for the millions of people who visit this area each year. It's a great way to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Smokies, get some fresh air and bond with family and friends. Some folks, though, enjoy their outdoor recreation at a slightly higher speed, and that's where ziplining emerges as the high-energy outdoor activity alternative.
Think about it. Ziplining offers those same benefits—mountain beauty, the freshness of the great outdoors and quality time with friends and family—but the thrill factor is definitely higher! Imagine doing all those things while cruising through the mountain treetops at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour, the wind in your hair, the ground far below your feet and with eye-level views of gorgeous Smoky Mountain foliage.
Our ziplines in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, offer more than one way to take part in this family-friendly adventure activity. You can take our canopy tour, which features 14 different zipline experiences, or run the thrill meter into the red on our SuperZip course, featuring four of the highest, fastest ziplines in town!
