New Mexico is filled with magnificent landmarks and terrain that most people never fully experience beyond the surface. For instance, the Sierra Blanca Mountains might be a pretty sight to see from a photo or at a distance, and hiking in this terrain might be a fun way to spend time; however, nothing beats the unique, gorgeous perspective and the sheer thrill of riding a zipline across the mountains at 11,489 feet. Ski Apache’s Wind Rider Zip Tour can provide you with an exciting adventure.
A Unique Zipline Tour
There’s no better experience than riding a zipline through the Sierra Blanca Mountains. Ziplining will give you a unique perspective of the natural scenery provided by the gorgeous mountain range you cannot get anywhere else. When you use one of the world’s longest ziplines, which reaches over 8,900 feet in length and provides around 1.5 hours of ziplining time, you will have plenty of time to take in the beauty and atmosphere associated with the Sierra Blanca Mountains.
Ziplining offers quite a rush as you conquer the heights of the Sierra Blancas and fly down the mountain. With elevations of 11,489 feet and a speed of up to 65 mph, the thrill of using the highest zipline in the United States is unmatched. Ziplining is an adventure you can enjoy by yourself or you can share with your friends and family.
Zipline Safety
Of course, to successfully zipline through the mountains, you must follow basic safety procedures and use the appropriate safety gear. You will need to wear suitable clothing for outdoor activities in the current weather and be sure to wear closed-toe shoes. When you participate, you will wear a tight-fitting harness that attaches to the zipline trolley’s tether, and a helmet.
Most trolleys have two tethers for extra safety. You will also receive some helpful information from our qualified instructors on how to use the trolley handle to adjust the speed, as well as hand signals to know when to speed up, slow down, or stop.
Make sure to learn these instructions to pass the required demo zipline test and operate the zipline trolley properly. With the right safety equipment and effective lessons, you can ensure an exciting and safe ziplining adventure.
Explore the Sierra Blanca Mountains in Style
Before embarking on your adrenaline-pumping ziplining adventure, you should know some information about the terrain. The zipline area, which extends up to 8,900 feet, is full of steep hills, paths full of twists and turns, and a large range of trees that extends throughout the area. A gondola and an ATV service will assist you in going up steep hills and astounding heights of up to 11,489 feet. During the winter, you can see powder-white snow blanket the Sierra Blanca Mountains, a sight that is rare in a dry, warm climate.
As one of the most prominent mountains in Southern New Mexico, the Sierra Blancas is a must-see destination. Most people don’t get the chance to experience sights at such a high elevation, and we provide a great way to have fun while doing so. We have plenty of safety measures in place, so you’re job is to enjoy the ride.
