On a warm, sunny day, nothing quite compares to soaring through the cloudless sky. Kids and adults alike are guaranteed to have a blast on this unique attraction.
As you ride, bikers are busy braving the twists and turns of the trails below. There are nine total paths to choose from once atop the mountain, all of them downhill treks that lead to the bottom.
