Can you imagine bungee jumping off a 300-foot bridge into a gorge below? The folks at Central Oregon Bungee Adventures will help you do just that. Take a look:
The Crooked River Gorge is absolutely stunning. 500 feet deep, it's surrounded by sheer, basalt cliffs. At the bottom, the Crooked River winds its way through the gorge. High Bridge was built in 1926, and it's the jump site for Central Oregon Bungee Adventures
That's right - you can bungee jump off High Bridge! The bridge stands 300 feet above the gorge, and the jump is 250 feet. It's the tallest commercial bungee jump on the continent, and if you're brave enough to try it, it's the experience of a lifetime.
...and make sure your helmet is securely fastened. Jumpers must be at least 14 years old (those younger than 18 will need a waiver signed by their parents). Just about anyone can do this!
There's nothing more exhilarating (or maybe terrifying) than standing on the platform over the gorge, waiting for your guide to give you the signal to jump.
The fall takes about eight seconds. Most people feel a rush of emotions, from fear to exhilaration, to joy. Bungee jumping is unlike any other adventure on the planet, and your experience will be unique to you. One thing is for certain: your bungee jump off into the Crooked River Gorge will be unforgettable.
Wondering if you're just too old to try a crazy thing like bungee jumping? This gentleman was 85 years old on the day he took his bungee jump. You can do it!
