- Self-paced aerial ropes-and-zipline parks in the pines above Lake Tahoe — dozens of tree platforms linked by sky bridges and zip lines across several graded courses, with a 50-ft Alpine Tower at the Olympic Valley site
- Logistics note
- ~2.5 hrs; many courses of platforms, bridges & zip lines; ages 6+ on some courses
- Intl tip
- A different spin on ziplining: self-paced aerial parks where you clip in and work through course after course of tree platforms, sky bridges, and zip lines at your own pace. Three locations around Lake Tahoe (Tahoe City behind Granlibakken with ~97 platforms and 27 zip lines, Tahoe Vista, and Olympic Valley at Palisades Tahoe), graded from easy — kids as young as six — to challenging. A favorite for families; the Olympic Valley site adds a 50-ft Alpine Tower. A spring-through-fall affair; closed once winter snow arrives.
