Zipline Adventures

Posted on: June 23rd, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

Zip Yellowstone operates out of two area. Gardner and Big Sky. Combination packages such as the Zip n’ Dip are quite popular.

The Gallatin River ZipLine is located between Bozeman and Big Sky, Montana, right off highway 191, just over an hour drive North from West Yellowstone. The dramatic scenery includes towering limestone cliffs, pine forest and a rushing river. This is the area where the movie A River Runs Through It was filmed. On these tours, you start by ascending sky bridges to a tree platform 55ft in the air! Both tours have two Zips across the Gallatin River! The Super Zip adds to the experience with more adventure elements. Test your balance on our swaying wooden swings or try our optional cargo net climb.

Yellowstone Ranch ZipLine is located on the historic Stermitz Ranch in the mountains bordering Yellowstone Park, just outside of Gardiner, MT. The tour will take you up a mountainside and then soaring back down. Gaze at the gorgeous pristine vistas, listen to the gurgling mountain stream and watch for wildlife on this remote and scenic property. To add to the thrills, go for the Grande Tour. Two of these zips are a breathtaking 1200+ft and take you flying ridge to ridge, 200ft above Cinnabar Creek! The trips meet in Gardiner and we shuttle you to and from the zip line course.

I have been receiving very positive reviews from guests touring the area. If you are in Gardiner or West Yellowstone take a sometime to include Zip Yellowstone into your vacation.

Teton Ice Park

Ice climbing in Jackson Hole has never been closer. The Teton Ice Park provides the easiest access ice climbing in the Jackson area. The ice park has created a convenient venue in which to practice ice climbing. This Winter the park has moved over the Tetons to Jackson, and now finds its home at the base of Snow King Mountain Resort. By using low-flow shower heads and some mining pipe to spray water on a 40 foot retaining wall, the resort has created multiple features upon which to climb. The North facing aspect keeps the ice in ideal condition. The venue is perfect for learning basic climbing skills. The multiple features also serve as a practice area for more advanced climbers looking to hone their techniques.

There are not too many places that have such convenient access to ice like this.

Access to the Teton Ice Park is available by purchasing a Day Pass or Punch Card. All users will need to pass a skills assessment. Day passes are $20 and can be purchased on site during open climbing hours. Please contact Aerial Boundaries to arrange access and/or classes. The park is located behind the Love Ridge Condominium complex, above the parking area by the Rafferty lift.

On clear days spectacular views of the Tetons and the Teton Pass areas can be had from the climbing venue. The ice park itself is pretty cool to see for itself.
