About The Canopy Tour At Bretton Woods

Join us year-round for a thrilling zip line adventure on the slopes of Bretton Woods! Participants are brought on an adventure that includes a network of platforms high up in the ancient hemlock trees connected by nine ziplines, two sky bridges and three rappels.

This excursion offers both a thrilling experience and an intimate look into the wilds of the White Mountains, with sweeping views of Mount Washington and the Presidential Range. Time out depends on group sizes, with groups of 4+ averaging roughly 3 hours and up. Smaller groups should expect anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours. The longest zip is over 1000 ft. long and about 165 ft. high off the forest floor. Summer tours can accommodate up to eight participants while winter tours can accommodate up to six participants who descend 1000 feet in elevation with two adventure guides, from the top of Rosebrook Canyon to the base of Bretton Woods.

Our canopy tour features a dual-cable construction (you slide below two separate cables, instead of just one) and platforms and bridges milled from locally harvested wood sources, in keeping with our commitment to environmentally sustainable programs. Once on the tour, our adventure guides describe the native flora and fauna, in addition to discussing the surrounding area, its natural history and White Mountains.
