You’ve climbed up the 60-foot observation tower and are now standing on the first platform as you get checks, practice and rechecks on your equipment. You look at your Canopy Guide, who smiles and gives you the “thumbs up” and you hear “ARE YOU READY?” Are you ready to challenge yourself on one of the longest and highest canopy tours in the world? With almost two miles of cable, bridges, tree houses and three wonderful towers with several places over 200 feet in the air, the phrase “Tree Flight” definitely applies. You will zip line and traverse the cable and lily pad bridges from tree platform to tree platform as well as crisscross up to six times over the beautiful Snake Creek Gorge. A True World Class Canopy Tour!
As you go in and out and over the trees, take advantage of the “bird’s eye view” below. You may see one of our nesting pair of red tail hawks, a beautiful and slender gray heron or even an eagle. You might even catch a view of otters frolicking in the 100-foot wide cascading Snake Creek. Look for the paper mill ruins too! It was one of ten mills that operated in the bustling 1800’s mill town of Banning. Your journey can end with a beautiful and scenic walk along Snake Creek, a hike in the beautiful setting along the ridges of the Gorge or with a 1,500-foot-long, high-speed zip line that can reach speeds of 60 miles per hour. Then - the new Screaming Eagle, with a 100-foot Tower and 2,400 + feet of high-speed zip line. Unbelievable!! Unlike anything in the Northern Hemisphere!

I took thirteen friends to Banning Mills on my 60th birthday, and we had the most fantastic day! Everyone was scared, but we all got into the team-building and sheer joy of seeing the valley below from a bird’s eye view. Silent except for the whir of the trolley on the cable, it exceeded all of our expectations. Highly recommend for families, family reunions, birthdays, and any milestones one wants to check off their bucket list.
