The Zip Line Canopy Tour in Bretton Woods, NH
Fly Through the Trees in the New England White Mountains
Bretton Woods, NH 03575
United States of America
Largest Canopy Tour in America
The Canopy Tour at Bretton Woods, NH is the longest zip line canopy tour in the continental United States. It has 18 platforms, three rappels, two sky bridges, 10 zip lines, and there is a 1000 foot descent. You learn on the ground and gradually move up in height and length. By the time you get to the end, you'll be a pro and you can race a fellow zip liner to see who learned the most while visiting the White Mountains of New England.
Safety
The zip line canopy tour has coated two cables (one above the other) so it is safe and easy, not to mention quiet. You will literally feel like you're flying from one tree to the next but you're never far from help because the guides are always looking after you. There is one guide on the platform where you take off, and another to help you in when you land on the next platform.
The zip line tour in Bretton Woods, NH lasts 3.5 hours but you'll feel like only 30 minutes passed by the time you reach the end.
What do I wear to zip line?
Each person will be fitted with a harness, helmet and gloves. Attire should be comfortable and secure (e.g. no dresses or anything that can catch on the line). Long pants and a polar fleece are perfect during the fall. Women with long hair must put their hair back in a braid or ponytail.
Cost
If you are staying at the Bretton Woods resort, the fee is $99/person. The public fee is $110, and although it sounds like a lot of money, you certainly get your money's worth.
