Lost Canyon Zipline Virtual Tour

Orientation on the Bunny Ziplines is first for all customers.

Zip Trip is first at 261.7 ft as you fly over the canyon below and a real thriller to jump start the ziplining experience. Then it's a hike up through the trees to the top of the hill to Eagle's Roost Lookout overlooking the river toward Salida. Here one can truly see why Salida means "gateway" or "exit" to/from the Arkansas River Valley.

The second cable takes off from Rocky Top Takeoff and is called Flight School which is 183.8 ft. We land at Pack Rat Penthouse (deck). Yes, there is a cool packrat nest nearby.

Third, we hike down a short trail to view the travertine flowstone formation and leave from Travertine Takeoff for a zip of 373.8 ft. on Canyon Flyer. Many visitors like this cable the best.

Arriving at Piñon Point Landing, a short 100 ft. hike with views of two silver mines, one adit and one shaft located on "Mountain Pink" mining claim, we take off from Tree Top Takeoff for another flight on Zip Trip (no one seems to mind the repeat flight here.) This landing is called Knob Hill Landing. This time, the zipists enjoy looking down and around.

A short walk while viewing the complex geology of the Wellsville formation takes the zipists to Rim Rock Launch with a view of some 1895 lime kiln ruins on the Postmaster Mining Claim. This zipline is called Cliffhanger and is 265.7 feet in length. This cable is a little faster and hand braking is required, but by now the zipists have experience! They arrive at Lookout Point Landing. Cliffhanger is the most scenic ride.

They leave for the final cable from Cable Canyon Launch and fly down the Gun Barrel zipline for 465 feet. This cable is the fastest of all and looks down on some ancient (three hundred million year old) limestone formations and the Box Canyon Campfire site. They arrive at Miner's Landing. An opportunity to look down the old silver mine shaft, 75 feet deep, while standing on a steel grate, is something they don't want to miss on their way down the gulch to the Box Canyon site for refreshments, (water) at journey's end.

The total length of these six cables is 2000 ft., more than most people are expecting, and they still want more. We can arrange for an additional three cable rides to extend the fun.
