Zipline at Bootleg Canyon

Have you ever imagined soaring from the top of a mountain with an eagle�s eye view? Or envisioned a new way of exploring a mountain terrain without leaving a trace of your journey behind? If so, let your imagination become reality and get out to experience the thrill and the beauty of Bootleg Canyon Flightlines, Boulder City�s newest eco-adventure, opening soon at the base of Red Mountain.

If Flightlines don�t mean anything to you, think zip-lines for simplicity�s sake, a term most people are more familiar with, and you might get the basic picture. However, there is nothing simple about Bootleg Canyon Flightlines.

Suspended from cables and comfortably sitting in a para-gliding harness, you travel from point to point by flying over the desert ecosystem from the top of Red Mountain. Instead of hiking or cycling down the trails, you are exploring the mountain from an aerial trail. Add to that some of the safest new patented technology, impressive distances, spectacular views, and highly qualified guides, and you have the Bootleg Canyon Flightlines, the only Aerial Trails system in Nevada.

Bootleg Canyon Flightlines consists of a multi-run and multi-line series of lines that range in length from 1150 to 2550 feet. After guests assemble at the base for orientation, training will be provided on an 833-foot long practice run that will allow them an opportunity to become familiar with the system. The practice run will also give anyone having second thoughts a chance to back out before being committed to the full tour experience. But for most it will only heighten the excitement for all that lies ahead. Afterwards, groups of approximately 12 guests are shuttled up to the top of Red Mountain where they will begin their descent on a series of 4 lines flying across canyons at speeds of up to 50 mph. The entire tour package will last approximately 2.5 hours and covers a total of 1.56 miles.

The aerial trails are designed to have very little impact on the environment when operational. The towers that you see on the mountain will soon be painted to match the color of the surrounding landscape, and any traces of construction will be repaired and replanted. Because you only walk on the ground at the beginning and end of each line, there is very little impact on the desert over the length of the trails.

Bootleg Canyon Flightlines reserves the right to modify or cancel any tour due to weather or deemed unsafe by tour guide.

If a tour is cancelled because of weather, the group will be notified and will be given the option to reschedule their tour, or be refunded the total amount
