Zip Lining at the San Gabriel Mountains

I was provided with a complementary tour to facilitate this post, however all opinions, typos and grammatical errors are my own.

Just 75 miles from Los Angeles, in the beautiful town of Wrightwood you can find Zip Lines at Pacific Crest, and awesome place to come with friends and family and have some adventure and experience your daily dose of adrenaline rush.

Zip Lines at Pacific Crest is located in the San Gabriel Mountains next to Mountain High Resort, the y are open all year, you know what does mean? You can Zip Line over the snow in the winter months! The offer 3 tours

• Canopy Tour is one of the most thrilling zipline courses in the nation, offering heights of up to 300 feet off the forest floor, lengths of over 1,500 feet.(9 ziplines, 2 bridges, 2 rappels, a sky stair, 1 free fall, and 3 hikes)

You know the type of adventure you are going to have when the van that is driving you to the mountains is playing the song of the movie Jurassic Park. It is the perfect start of our day and it gets you in the mood for soaring over the trees. 

After you book your adventure at Ziplines at Pacific Crest this is what you should expect

• Receive an email with your confirmation and a link to sign your waivers. Everyone in your group should sign the waiver. If you are not able to sign online, make sure to arrive early so you can complete your forms.
• Arrive at least 30 minutes before your booked tour. They will check all your forms and also weight you. Do not worry no one can see your weight. They just want to make sure you are between 90 and 250 pounds.
• Do not drink a lot of liquids before your tour. There are no bathrooms breaks. Use the bathroom before your tour. 
• Do not forget to apply sunscreen, you are going to be up in the mountains
• Leave all your valuables in your car or at the office. You do not want to loose objects in the wild. 
• Be ready to have fun.

Once you are all checked in, and the group is ready you will be gearing up. Your tour guides will help you get your gear on and then you will head the the van that will take you to the beginning of your adventure. There is going to be some hiking involved. Nothing too bad, but it is walking on dirt on a mountain. 
The first Zip Line is your training line. Your tour guide will give you instructions on what to do and what NOT to do. It is important to pay attention, specially to the breaking system, meaning YOU!. You read that right. You will be helping break yourself.
Once you hear all the instructions you are ready to experience the adventure. We did the Canopy Tour with 9 zip lines, 2 rappelling from majestic big pines and Two “Indiana-Jones” style sky-bridges.
The Zip Lines are amazing. In the fastest one you could zip line at around 60 miles per hour. The longest one is around 1500 feet and the highest one is around 306 feet. Definitely the place for a great adventure.

One thing I really loved about the tours? besides all the adrenaline rush, the tour guides teach you about the area and nature. I learned a lot about the area. I am sure all tour guides are amazing, but Nick and Shaun were great!

Here are some pictures (they are available for you to purchase after your tour) that shows how much fun we had.
