Zip Lining Adventure

If you think Zip Lining is hooking onto a cable and flying from treetop to treetop, let me tell you it is not that simple/easy!

Yes, there is sliding from one tree to another, but in-between, there are obstacles. At Sandy Spring Adventure Park, there could be two or three obstacles before you Zip.

The trails are set up similar to skiing: yellow trails are beginners; green trails and blue trails are, each, more advanced; then there are the black diamond and double black diamond.

You will see in some of the pictures the many levels on the trees. The higher the platform, the more difficult the trail. Any platform with a downward lip is the end of a Zip. Make sure you click in each picture to get the full effect.

NOTE: This is a lengthy post so you will have to click on "older posts" at some point in order to get all of it.

Our group: Barbara (blue shirt) a good friend of mine; Terry (orange shirt), Barbara’s daughter; Anne (white shirt and grey pants) my daughter; Jacob (black shirt) Anne’s oldest son; Andrew (red shirt), Anne’s youngest son. Oh, and me, of course. I’m the reason we are all here. Anne gave me the present of Zip Lining for my 75th birthday.

Terry has lots of rock climbing experience, so she was really looking forward to doing this course.
