The first zipline canopy tour in the United States was established right here in Transylvania County at Earthshine Mountain Lodge. If you're looking to experience the forest from a bird's eye view, this is just the ticket. Soaring up to 65 feet above the ground, the longest of the course's seven stages whizzes over 400 feet through the treetops. For adventurous adults and children (age 10 and up), this 2 1/2 hour tour is an exhilarating way to spend a summer afternoon. Click here or call (828) 862-4207 for more information.
