Sunday afternoon, I arrived in Grand Marais, Minnesota. Towering Pines Zipline is actually 43 miles west from there.
After Chris orientated me, he turned me over to my awesome guides, Alex and Andrew.
Towering Pines is owned by Bruce Kerfoot, father of Lee Kerfoot, who owns Kerfoot Canopy Tours in Henderson, MN.
I had a great time on my private 8 Line tour! We were on the border, so Canada was right there!
We saw Gunflint Lake and Lonely Lake. Learned a lot about the area...the guides were very knowledgeable!
Loved it!
On Sunday morning, I drove to Spirit Mountain in Duluth, Minnesota.
I rode the Timber Flyer, a two seat chair that whisks you down the mountain and back! Thanks Grace and Brendon, it was awesome.
I then rode the Alpine Coaster...had it wide open...it won't leave the track like the Alpine Slide! Loved it!
I drove to Sand Creek Adventures in Jordan, Minnesota.
I met Al, the property owner and his son, Duane, who owns the Zipline.
My awesome guides were Calvin, Howie and Julie.
Great views zipping over Sand Creek!
One line had a slide to start the zip! It was cool...I tried it forward and backwards!
There were 3 lines that we zipped twice!
Loved it!
In Henderson, Minnesota, I met Lee and Eva Kerfoot, the owners of Kerfoot Canopy Tours.
I thought I was in heaven when they told me there were 14 lines!
Wow! I had a great time!
The views were wonderful!
I have some video to post later, thanks Jared!
My awesome guides were Jared, Brian and Travis.
I also met the manager, Mark!
I met Deb Hannon at Rushmore Cave and was able to ride The Soaring Eagle 3 times. Nice exhilarating ride, forward and backwards! Thanks, Linda for taking the pics and video! I will post them when I have wifi!
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.
