Scream Time Zip Line:
Canopy Tours (a.k.a. Zip Line Tours) have been present in the United States since 2002. This growing adventure experience became popular in Costa Rica during the mid to late 1990's after enjoying widespread popularity as single zip lines on ropes challenge course in the United States since the mid 1960's. After the popular movie Medicine Man starring Sean Connery hit movie theaters in 1992, the concept of exploring the canopy of the tree tops utilizing climbing ropes, harnesses, and pulleys sparked the interest of adventure travelers around the world. Today, this growing ecology based adventure travel industry is bursting at the seams as more and more tours pop up. Experience Based Learning (EBL) is proud to have played a predominate role in the expansion of canopy / zip line tours in the United States since the first installed Maui Hawaii course in 2002. Directions from BANNER-ELK: From red light at Tynecastle, take 105 North 10 miles. Turn left at light onto 105 By-Pass (321/421). Go 2 miles and turn left at light onto 421 North.

Seven Devils Zipline:
Opening in late June, 2009, Hawksnest Tubing Resort will turn into the biggest zipline attraction on the east coast with 13 different cables and more than two miles of soaring through the air for people ages five and up. The zipline cables at Hawksnest zig and zag across the valley ranging from less than a dozen to more than 200 feet above the ground, giving riders incredible views of the property and all across the surrounding mountains. In addition to the normal cables, it will have a SuperZip that will carry riders more than 2,500 feet while suspended more than 200 feet in the air. Just like the Scream Time Zip Line in Zionville, safety is also their top concern, and having fun is right behind it. Customers are encouraged to call ahead for updates and reservations. There must be at least two people in your party to make a reservation. For more information or to make a reservation, call 828-963-2343 or email info@hawksnesttubing.com.
