The zip line tour consists of three stages.
Mt Bachelor The first stage drops you just 255 feet to the next platform. Check out Tumalo Mountain and Paulina Peak in the distance. The second stage takes you down the mountain another 263 feet, and you’ll catch glimpses of South Sister. At 3,443 feet, the third stage is the longest, and it includes a whopping 866-foot plunge. This stage is the steepest, and you can reach speeds up to 70 mph!
Before you start your zip line tour, you’ll have an orientation and training session. Look for the North Yurt in the West Village Base Area, where you’ll gear up and learn how to use the ZipTour trolley.
