Soar Over Red Rock: Moab Zip Line Adventure Above the Canyons
Launch from sandstone platforms and fly above Moab’s red-rock canyons on a guided zip line circuit. This three-hour outing mixes off-road approach, hands-on safety briefings, and multiple runs that reveal the Colorado Plateau from a fresh, airborne angle.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during
Bring at least 1L of water per person and sip before gearing up — desert heat and the off-road transfer can dehydrate quickly.
Check weight & height limits
Operators enforce strict weight and height restrictions for safety; enter exact measurements at booking to avoid last-minute cancellations.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes give traction on dusty platforms and during short approach hikes; sandals are not allowed.
Secure cameras properly
Use a wrist strap or body mount and confirm the operator’s camera policy — dropped gear is unrecoverable on exposed runs.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Watch sunrise from the lower platforms for softer light and fewer crowds
- •Ask guides about nearby short viewpoints reached on the off-road approach for quiet overlooks

Conservation Note
Stay on designated trails to protect cryptobiotic soil crusts and avoid touching fragile rock surfaces; local operators emphasize Leave No Trace practices to reduce impact.
The Moab area contains ancestral lands of Ute and Paiute peoples and later became a hub for uranium prospecting and frontier-era ranching before tourism reshaped the local economy.
What to Bring
Closed-toe hiking shoesEssential
Provide grip and protect feet on dusty platforms and during short trail approaches.
Reusable water bottleEssential
Staying hydrated in Moab’s heat is critical during the transfer and between runs.
Sun protection (hat, SPF 30+)Essential
Direct sun and reflective sandstone increase UV exposure; lip and skin protection matter.
Light windbreaker
Wind can be stronger on ridgelines and in the shoulder seasons; a thin layer blocks gusts while waiting on platforms.
