Nowadays, there are zipline tours everywhere. You can take a canopy tour through the rainforest or see a city skyline from a unique angle. If you’re looking for something different to do on your next vacation, how about one of these thrilling ziplines?

USA - Zip Adventures, Vail Perhaps one of the most breathtaking ziplines is across six cables stretched high over the wild waters of the Colorado River. Surrounded by the magnificent Rocky Mountains, you are driven in a 6-wheel military-style vehicle to the jump-off point. The very short scenic hikes between platforms are an added delight, turning the tour into an unforgettable on and off the ground experience.

I really should try a zipline tour. I’m quite skeptical because I wonder how much you can actually see at the speed you go at. They are, however, incredibly popular so they must be quite an experience. Have you ever been on one? Any of these? Would love to know what you think.
