REVIEWS

  • Had a great time!! The facilities were clean and we'll maintained. Staff was extremely nice and helpful. Our guides, Merry, Emily and Michael were amazing. Definitely recommend requesting them if you're planning a trip to the Gorge. The zip lines provided amazing views and were a lot of fun! I will be going back and recommend everyone visit the Gorge

  • This experience was wonderful. Simultaneously relaxing and exhilarating, you can tell the people who designed it love adventure and nature. The zip lines had beautiful views and the speed that were interspersed with the walking bridge, the two rappel lines, and the little bit of hiking. The hiking wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but I could definitely tell the steps were made for taller people. I’ve been telling everyone that this experience far exceeded my expectations. As cool as it was to zip line through the trees or rappel like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible, I contend the experience was made much richer because of the people I met. We had a varied group that I had a wonderful time chatting with in between zip lines. Wade and Lia were wonderful and hilarious, and their different personalities were delightful to experience. Wade was clearly very comfortable with the material, running through safety instructions and giving directions in a humorous and sarcastic way. Lia was informative and engaging as she shared a good pirate joke and information about some of her favorite trees we came across. Wade enriched the experience with witty banter, but I’m eternally grateful for Lia offering reassurances when I was nervous about the rappel line. Cannot recommend this experience or Wade and Lia enough!

  • I've done other zipline courses and The Gorge has been one of the best so far. Flying through the canopies was a major thrill. When there was a clearing the views were spectacular. Wade and Trey were our guides and did an excellent job of keeping us safe and yet making it entertaining. Also, Sophie was very helpful in getting me booked for the Zipline and the Upper Green River Adventure.

  • We came here to make memories with our thirteen year old son who is terminally ill with brain cancer. They were so incredibly accommodating, went above and beyond to make the experience a truly memorable, once in a lifetime chance. The guides, we had John and Jake, were hilarious, knowledgeable, experienced and all around excellent in every way. They made a super fun experience even better than expected. Everyone on staff treated us with the utmost kindness. The views are varied and gorgeous. Some of the ziplines go through the canopy, others give you a gorgeous open mountain view. The zip lines felt safe and they treat safety just like they treat fun, super seriously! I could not recommend this enough!

  • I've been to The Gorge twice and each time was a great experience. This most recent visit we had Veto and Emma as guides and they were so knowledgeable and paid close to to attention, I felt very safe with them. They both were friendly, caring, and thoughtful. I definitely would go back to The Gorge. Great experience always

  • Amazing adventure! Alan and Paladin were fantastic guides- they explained everything clearly, kept the mood light and fun while keeping safety the priority!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and our guides made it memorable from start to finish-even with the ‘dad’ jokes! Thank you Alan and Paladin for helping create a great memory for our father/daughter adventure wknd.

    Rick
  • What a WONDERFUL experience. Gerry and Zach were entertaining and professional. Safety was the number one priority followed closely by fun and dad jokes. The course is beautiful. The company's mission to preserve the forest that they borrow for this adventure is inspiring. Thank you for the thrill and the tour through the canopy!!
