Georgia Zipline Course Is Among The Best In The U.S.
At some point everyone has thought about or dreamed about having the superpower to be able to fly. Aside from skydiving and hang-gliding, the closest human beings can get to actually being able to fly freely through the open air is partaking in ziplining. Vacation Idea recently listed the 20 best zipline courses in the country, and a Georgia location was named.
“Soaring above the treetops, attached to a thick wire and propelled by gravity, is a fantastic way to get an adrenaline rush and to see some of the surrounding area, whether you’re in the mountains, flying through a thick forest, or above a death-defying canyon,” they say.
Each scenario is possible when you partake in ziplining at the places mentioned in the feature. Regardless of the atmosphere you are zipping through, many zipline attributes are the same no matter where you go. In fact, most of these adventure centers allow guests of all experience levels. From first-timers to zipline enthusiasts, many of these courses also have their lines set to certain experience levels, similar to that of a ski mountain.
It starts with a tutorial on how to get properly set up and handle the gear. Then, it’s imperative you understand how to climb the tree or platform to which the zipline is attached. Once you have reached the top, connecting your harness to the zipline properly is another element to flying safely. These two steps can often be the most challenging parts. So now that we are atop the two-foot platform on the 100-foot tree, let’s explore this Zipline course in Georgia that was named among the best in the country.
