Southern California thrill-seekers take note.
NAVITAT CANOPY ADVENTURES, a high-adventure zip line canopy tour in the San Gabriel Mountains, launches the 2012 season on March 31.
New this season at NAVITAT is a heart-pumping free-fall rappel at the end of the mile-and-a-half-long course that also features 10 zip lines ranging from 200 to 1,500 feet in length -- including one that soars 300 feet above the canyon floor.
“Spring is here, and we’re ready for a new season of awesome adventure in the San Gabriel Mountains,” said Caley Bowman, Marketing Manager at NAVITAT-Wrightwood. “Our tour gives visitors a breathtaking view of the region’s rugged natural beauty and a big rush with elements like the zips and free-fall rappel.”
The new free-fall experience comes during the third and final rappel element on the course. Guests are attached to special auto belay equipment that allows them to leap off the tree-based platform, 48 feet up, and free fall 10 feet before the device catches and lowers them to the ground.
Guests who prefer a more controlled descent from the treetops can opt for a traditional rappel from the platform.
“I think our guests will find that the free-fall is an amazing end note on what is already an epic tour,” said Bowman.
Also new at NAVITAT for the 2012 season:

Awarded “Best of L.A.” honors by L.A. Weekly and CBS Los Angeles, the tour has been featured on “Conan” and as the backdrop of Geico’s Maxwell the Ziplining Pig commercial.
