Big Sky Resort Zipline Tours
Big Sky Resort Zipline Tours offers two options for guests, the Nature or Adventure Ziplines.
The first tour offered is the Adventure Zipline which is designed for speed. Guests enjoy the scenic views of Lone Mountain and the Spanish Peaks of the Madison Range while they ride up to the zip lines on a chair lift. Once at the top, four zip lines will be waiting for you and your group with one being the Twin Zipline which lets you and a partner zip line together through the scenery. Each tour can take up to three hours.
The other option is the Nature Zipline. You'll start the tour with a 10-minute nature walk up Moose Tracks Trail with two zip lines waiting at the top. Both lines crisscross Moose Tracks Gully and finish toward the bottom of Moose tracks. This tour takes around an hour.
Yellowstone Zipline and Canopy Tours
