Waterfalls with Fairly Easy Access
One amazing perk of mountain life is the abundance of waterfalls
Since 2012, Sky Valley Zip Tours has been delighting High Country visitors with unforgettable mountain zip line experiences. Easily accessible from Boone and Blowing Rock, but located deep in the woods down a gravel road, we offer a variety of tours to satisfy all ages and levels of thrill-seekers. Each tour begins with an ATV ride and Ground School training with our expert Zip Rangers.
– This 3-hour tour covers 10 zip lines (including the famous Big Mama), over a mile of cable, elevations up to 300 feet, a cliff jump, and 120-foot long swinging bridge.
– Launched in 2018, this 1.5-hour tour starts at dark on Friday and Saturday nights and covers the first half of the Canopy Tour and ends with the cliff jump, all under the light of the moon.
– A separate course, designed specifically for kids ages 4 and up, includes 7 zip lines, a bridge, and 20-foot slide out of the trees.
– The recent addition of electric ATVs, better known as Mountain Cat Off Road Adventures, provides a unique opportunity for guests to silently ride through the mountains and experience the natural beauty of the rugged landscape. The 4-wheel drive electric Coyote ATVs take their riders on guided tours that will not soon be forgotten. They are accessible to guests with mobility impairments (depending on the specific condition) and are a great option for those who cannot access the trails easily or those simply looking for a thrill. These guided ATV tours take the participants through the Sky Valley property and the scenic Pisgah National Forest and are the newest and most innovative way to get your family outdoors in the High Country.
Whether it is taking in the beauty of the mountains on an ATV, conquering fears on The Cliff Jump, or getting an adrenaline high on Big Mama, Sky Valley Zip Tours is the perfect place for adventure and fun for the whole family.
