Wednesday September 20 Heise Zip Ririe, Idaho


Had a great time zipping at Heise Zip in Ririe, Idaho!

Met the owner Mike Quinn and manager Linda Mann. 

Linda drove us near the top of the mountain where we had a short hike to the first of 10 nice lines. The views were great! 

The elevation was approximately 5000 feet. The longest line was over 1600 ft. 

My awesome guides were Aleksi and Tyson. 

Wonderful time! 

Nice sunny day and the temp got to 61.

Have pics and a video to upload later.

Tuesday September 19 Heise Campground Ririe, Idaho

Stayed at Heise Campground, just down the street from Heise Zip, also owned by Mike Quinn. 

Very nice stay.

Monday September 16 Big Sky Zipline Big Sky, Montana

Had a great afternoon Ziplining at Big Sky Mountain Resort. Zipped 4 lines. Rode the ski lift to the top and zipped down. A little walking, but mostly downhill. 

They have another course with a 20 minute hike, but I would have had to stay another day and with the 7500+ elevation, I decided to pass. On that tour I would have been able to go upside down. 

I met Sheila, the PR director and she showed me around. Huge place with a lot to offer. My awesome guides were Adam, Lindsay and Max. The views were spectacular and I had a great time! 

The day after I left, it snowed all day.
