Remember the old black and white Honeymooners reruns? There was one episode where Ralph Cramden was doing a commerical for a kitchen gadget he invented. It was like the Swiss Army Knife of canopeners. He described it's use as "Zip, Zipping the Modern Way"! Well, now there's a new way to zip! If you’re accustomed to having your head in the clouds, you’ll be right at home on the 3-hour Canopy Zip Line Tour over at Bretton Woods. My sister and I did it last fall, and I can’t recommend it highly enough; it was totally awesome! My husband and I recently sent our son Noah and his fiancé Dana on the canopy tour, because they tend to work waaaay too hard and were in need of a day out together out in the fresh air. This certainly fit the bill! Whether you’re a nature lover or a hard core thrill-seeker, this series of treetop zip lines, which descend over 1000’ of elevation, is one of the longest zipline canopy tours in all New England. Experienced guides take you gradually over the course, which increases in length, elevation and slope over the 3-hour experience, and is totally safe. The canopy tour features a dual-cable construction in which you slide below two separate cables, instead of just one; coated cables to make for a quiet, more natural flight through the trees; and platforms and bridges milled from locally-harvested wood sources, in keeping with a commitment to environmentally sustainable programs. They are also good at discussing the local flora and fauna and the lore of the Mount Washington area. The tour concludes with a dual, side-by-side racing zip which didn’t exist when I was there last year, but which Noah and Dana said was a lot of fun. This tour is rather pricey at $110, but it is totally worth every penny, and is head and shoulders above almost anything else you might think of to do.

That does look interesting. I've only tried a zipline at church camp...and this looks much more exciting :) :) :) Have a great Thursday. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
