I checked Tripadvisor before trying this activity so I'll post my thoughts to give others like me, a better basis for deciding if they want to plunk down the $ to do this.
The whole activity lasts about 2.5 hours, but with only about 5 minutes of actual ziplining. There was a quick orientation and then we were off on a series of 6 ziplines that stretch across and around a small canyon or ravine east of Salida. There is a short 100 yard hike between each station, but nothing demanding. The ziplines must have been about 70 to 200 yards long and everyone seemed to have a pleasant time. It wasn't very scary, and moms, dads and little kids were going without much trepidation.
Was it worth the $? I didn't think so. If you are a thrill seeker and have participated in any action sports (mountain biking, kayaking, climbing, rapeling, ropes courses, rollerblading, etc) you won't find this all that thrilling. If you are a more sedentary sort and get your thrills mainly from youtube, then this might be pants-wetting excitement for you. The typical, non-active families seemed to be having expensive fun. Regardless, I had a lot more thrills mountain biking the Midland trails and climbing Mt Princeton. I think I'd have had a better time taking the $ and going on a raft trip. Hope this helps other action sports folks out there.
