Full Extreme Adventure Tour - Can take up to 4 - 5 hours. Includes three long lines, two 1000ft zip lines, a 770ft high speed zip line that that travels thru a tunnel of trees, plus a series of High Tree traversing cable wood bridges connecting tree platforms and shorter zip lines that will keep you in the air from 50 to 200ft high the whole time.
PLUS, we will also do their really long 1500+ ft zip lines called the Big Daddy! We will then do (Little Daddy) to the ground and walk back with one of your Tree Guides to the main lodge on our beautiful trails, some of which are the old town roads and old water raceways of the ghost town of Banning.
WAIT... we'll continue on to the High Tree Trek, Gorge Traverse, a tour criss crossing back and forth over the Snake Creek Gorge on long and high cable, wood bridges and tree plat forms that are unbelievable. Heights vary from 50 to 100 ft in the air. You will go on to the amazing Sky Trek bridge that is 600ft long and 170ft above the gorge. End with four more long and fast zip lines which includes the SCREAMING EAGLE, a 2400+ ft high speed zip line that starts in one of the tallest timber pole towers in the World, AND now Two NEW lines back to the Main lodge- Breath taking Adventure and Awesome views! You will cross Snake Creek Gorge 100 - 300ft, seven times. This is about 3 1/2 to 5 hour adventure.

We need to be there at 1:30pm so it would be ideal to carpool with folks. It's about a 45 minute drive from the airport.

Banning Mill is the BEST! I left my camera strapped to my harness. I called them and they were kind enough to mail it back to me yesterday. What GREAT staff they have down there.
