Day Two - Breakfast and Zipline

Waking up when it was still fairly dark out in the morning made the town look so serene. Breakfast was amazing, especially the bacon! Sooo yummy. Once we were done with breakfast, we explored the town a little bit more.













We spotted the horses on our way to get geared up for the Adventure Trek, aka Ziplines! We drove in a van equipped with snow tracks instead of tires, it was cool. The drive up to the ziplines took about maybe 20-30 minutes. They have a yurt set up at the start, middle, and end of the lines, where we got geared up more in the first one. According to the instructors, the combination of the harnesses and double cable lines could hold up a semi! Once we were geared up fully, and had dome a quick training/practice, we headed up into the forest more to the first line. James did awesome, for being afraid of heights.
And I friggin loved it too!
I didn't get any pictures of it though, since it's a little hard to take pictures of things while on the ziplines. The best one though was the 2000 feet long line, which is the longest zipline in the United States, and the second longest in the world! It reaches speeds between 55 and 65 miles an hour! You couldn't really see the end platform from the start platform. James was able to have one of the instructors to video the long one, since the instructors know how to do the zip with only one hand. The whole experience was amazing.
After zipline, we had about 45 minutes to get food before our next activity...
