Make Unforgettable Memories This Year When You Try Ziplining

Your heart is pounding in your ears as your feet edge towards the end of the platform. Your guide has instructed you to trust them and take the leap- but only you can take that final step. You swallow, take a breath, and jump.

And then you’re flying.

Your heart is still racing, but suddenly you realize that it’s not just out of fear.

No, you’re having fun.

When was the last time you laughed or screamed from sheer exhilaration? When was the last time you had a true adventure that required a leap of faith? Maybe you’re with the people you love, and you’re getting to see them experience this level of thrill for the first time.

If you’re looking to create a memory that lasts a lifetime, you need to try ziplining. Luckily, if you’re in the Lancaster County area, you don’t have to go far! Before we get into where to go ziplining (and I think you know where this is going), let’s look at why ziplining is the perfect way to create those unforgettable moments you’ll carry with you for years to come.

Shared Experiences = Deeper Bonds

People who adventure together, stay together. We’ve been around long enough in this industry to say that when people come and experience a ziplining adventure with us, they leave with deeper bonds of friendship than when they arrived.

There’s something about the shared thrill of taking that first step off a platform, saying yes to something scary and exciting, and then facing those fears together. It brings people together! You’re not just sharing an experience; you’re sharing a victory.

Just kidding!

Nature Creates the Perfect Backdrop

Once you get past the adrenaline high of stepping off your zipline platform, you realize you’re surrounded by something you might not get to fully enjoy every day: the great outdoors.

One of the best parts of ziplining is getting to experience nature without distraction. It’s been proven time and time again that getting outside is a game changer for your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. 

Imagine being part of it- nature,  that is. There’s something incredible about seeing the world from a completely different vantage point as you zip through the trees. 

Oftentimes (and perhaps contrary to what you’d expect), people say they feel a profound sense of peace when they’re on the ziplines. For a few minutes, it’s just you, the trees, and the view below.

[Almost] Anyone Can Do It

Our age minimum is 5 years old, we have no maximum age, and our weight limit is 280 pounds. That’s a wide range of people who can enjoy our adventure experiences! 

This makes it the perfect unique outing to do with your family, your friends, or even your team or church group.

Remember how we talked about shared experiences helping to create deeper bonds? This is what we’re talking about. This is an adventure that everyone will be talking about at dinner the next day, at work the next week, and at family holidays next year.

It’s Not Just a Thrill; it’s a Story.

Okay, yeah, that was a pretty cheesy subtitle. But it’s also true: We believe that ziplining has the power to turn a regular day into a chapter in your life’s adventure book. (How’s that for cheesy?)

Regardless, adding adventure into your day every now and then is important for the soul. Your past self can remind your present self, “Hey, remember that one time you ziplined at Refreshing Mountain?” (subtle, I know), and that memory can encourage you to try the next brave or “out there” thing you might not be feeling too sure about.

Memories make the best stories.

So why choose to zipline?

Ultimately, it helps you grow, draws your closer, and leaves you with moments you’ll always carry with you.  

Where can you experience this memorable thrill? Like we said, if you’re in Lancaster County, you’re in luck! Refreshing Mountain is 25 minutes north of Lancaster, nestled in the mountainous, forest-rich heart of Stevens, PA.

Open year-round, we offer ziplining packages that are unique, family-friendly, and fairly-priced. We’re not just another tourist stop: Our goal is to help you leave here refreshed and reconnected.
