New Hampshire - White Mountains

Zip-Line Treetops Adventure is one wild slide down a New Hampshire mountainside

The wild, swinging rides that Tarzan takes from treetop to treetop via conveniently located rope vines look like a heck of a thrill. If you ever gazed in awe at those corny old Tarzan movies and wondered how it feels to swoop on a vine swing through the jungle foliage, wonder no longer. Get yourself to Lincoln, New Hampshire, for the new Zip-Line Treetops Tour hosted by Alpine Adventures Outdoor Recreation. For a dose of airborne exhilaration (but without the stomach-churning drop of bungee jumping), there is nothing like it.
