text: I Should Have Never Gone ZipliningnTHE BOYS ARE EXCITED TO SPEND A DAY ZIPLINING IN THE COLORADO MOUNTAINS BUT HIGH IN THE ROCKYS FAR FROM THEIR FAMILIES THEIR TRIP TAKES A BAD TURN CHANCES OF SURVIVAL ARE SLIM ALL THEY CAN DO IS WAIT TO BE RESCUED BUT WILL HELP COME TOO LATEnnthat was the description of a South Park episode where the kids are disparate to escape the mountains when they find out how boring gong on a zip line actually is nnHere are the pluses with Bootleg Canyon nnThe views are wonderful nnHere are the down sidesnnIf you have ever ridden a mountain bike swing or the Dumbo ride at Disney you will not find this excitingnnTo make up for the lack of real excitementadrenalin the guides attempt to make sarcastic joke from the moment you arrive Most of the jokes are about equipment failure and ways to die on a zipline They also must find it funny to explicitly give us directions on how to position our bodies in the harness and use the hand brakes but then totally ignore those directions and clown around by going down backwards and not following their own rules nnThe most excitingdangerous part is when the bus driver slams on the brakes and intentionally drifts the bus backwards towards the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain Yeah great fun now that was sarcasmnnOverall not a horrible or dangerous experience but if you are only in town for a limited time be careful of how you spend hours of free time
