Kokanee Mountain Zipline — Attraction in Area E (Balfour/Cottonwood Lake)

As the Winds picked up, trees snapping my excitement grew 1st time on zipline however my Sis looked at me with saucer eyes and said no way, I think I'll skip this one out. Up the path we went to the Office and the sky lit up for a brief moment with our first lighting strike to welcome us, so cool! My Sister once again firmly said No Way. Our group harnessed up and skipped up the mountain in their Multi person transportation Gauntlet to our first platform. It was their who we discovered who we really were. My Portuguese friend with his Biker Buddy Mark cracking funnies and their sweet girlfriend who's contagious laugh that broke all stress barriers and I'll tell you we were about to find out. Marley and William read the weather to a T and our adventure began. The rain decided to welcome us to their misty home amongst the mighty mountain peaks, another flash in the Sky,then the winds came with excitement at our arrival sweeping the mist off of our Kokanee Glacier dropping temperatures ever so slightly. We were all in beach clothes except for Biker Buddy Mark,Ed and Girlfriend. Marley whipped down the 1st zip, and we all started chatting nervously shivering, and away we went. Soon a wonderful gentleman showed up with rain ponchos, and we had some relief. We soon reached the 2nd mountain peak and lo and behold a truck full of sweaters for all. Apparently 1st time they ever had to use them. Marley and William constantly checked our gear and ensured our safety 100%. The ones having the most fun beaming with thrilling smiles were 2 young Sisters with their brave brother, Mom never stopped smiling and Dad was living the moment. A big thanks to my Sister for not backing out and making this a most memorable experience., you see the last time we were out in a lighting storm together running for shelter lighting stuck, it was her not I that got hit.

A most...

From the staff, to the zip line course, all the way to views of the venue, all I can say is that they are all amazing. Our guides Jasmine and Ryan were wonderful and brought their absolute good vibes for the whole hour they were with me and my girl. Never had a dull moment with those two and honestly made the trip even better. All I can say is that Jasmine and Ryan really made us feel accommodated and safe throughout the whole trip.

The zip line course was well thought out and it eases someone to get a grasp to what they paid for as they go through the course. There was an equal amounts of short and long zip lines as well as slow and fast ones. There was even room for a little hike which I thought was a perfect buffer in between the remaining courses. I haven’t gone in a while and I thought it was perfect.

And lastly the views. You really get a good picture and really appreciate BC’s natural beauty(if you’re brave enough to open your eyes) while also getting the adrenaline rush you never knew you needed.

All in all 10/10 would recommend to go here again regardless of whether it’s your first time or you haven’t...

Had an absolute blast on the ziplines the other day! I had been here once before in 2015 and it left a lasting impression. So much so that I had to go back 10 years later and drag a friend with me! Our guides were Al and Ryan, and they definitely made the trip extra fun. They shared some great history and factoids about the area, and also gave us some recommendations for things to do around town! They also snapped some pictures of us throughout our adventure. (Very appreciated but Al, when you read this.... maybe give your camera lense a quick wipe😂) I recommend going in the morning before it gets too hot, and a smaller group definitely made it more fun. Georgia checked us in and was bubbling with good vibes from the very beginning, and later on ended up being my guardian angel. I wanted to buy a shirt but there weren't a lot of colours in my size. This gem went to their sea can and came back with 2 giant bins of t-shirts, and i left with my new favorite shirt! (Its PINK) Anyways, great place, great views, worth the journey and the time. There's a dog you can pet....
