Autumn foliage is beautiful to behold from ground level, but imagine soaring through those reds, yellows, and oranges like a bird in flight.
At Pumpkin Ridge Zip Tour, you can do just that.
Located about a 35-minute drive from Portland in North Plains, Pumpkin Ridge offers guided experiences along seven zip lines and two suspension bridges that will make your heart literally soar. We had to stop by and try it for ourselves.
Our two-hour adventure started with detailed instructions on safety and what to expect. After that, it was time to put on the provided harnesses, helmets + gloves and make our way up to the first platform. Cue the excited jitters.
Experienced guides led us through the course, which started with shorter zip lines close to the ground and gradually progressed until we were ~120 ft up. Along the way, we learned interesting facts about the forest + were treated to views of nearby Brunswick Canyon.
