Ziplining Myra Canyon

All harnessed up

When I arrived at the harness hut, I was very impressed with both the safety lesson and how to put on the harness. The staff made it easy and clear to understand. The staff respect COVID-19 rules and social distancing, all while ensuring that I knew what to do and how to be safe on the equipment! When I arrived up to the start of courses one thru five, I was taught how to load my harness and safety gear to the tracks. I want to point out that this was very easy to understand and easy to do; anyone can do it!

First zipline of the day

Ziplining Myra Canyon stands apart from different adventure parks as they have levels; you can choose where to start and where to finish. When I participated, there was a staff party ahead of me. Therefore I did not do it in order. However, you can choose to wait and follow one thru seven, which is meant to be the easiest to hardest.
While I was told that one would be the easiest and seven would be the hardest, I found, I believe, it was number three, the hardest. Starting on number three was the same as one; it was fine. However, I soon found myself dangling over the canyon. Okay, I wasn't really over the canyon, but it felt that way. And to make things scarier, I had to jump off the tree I was on and zip line across the edge of the canyon to the tree on the other side. This is part of ziplining Myra Canyon? Being this high up and on the canyon's edge is why I believe this was one of the most challenging aerial trails at the park. I had to mentally talk myself into it and take a few deep breaths before jumping off the tree. Even though I was wearing a harness, I still found my mind telling my legs NOT TO JUMP! Nevertheless, it was exhilarating and probably one of the highlights of the day!

The hardest obstacle

Once I got to course number seven, I received compliments about "how well I was doing". However, on course seven, they have some of the most complex obstacles in the park, starting with the trapezes. The trapeze is a long row of swings that you have to walk across. Sounds easy when you hear it and even looks easy when looking at it. Despite it looking easy, what you don't consider is that these swings go back and forth and side to side.

The spiderweb

Furthermore, the aerial park is filled with fun, silly and adventure-filled obstacles. You can fly across the harness hut on top of a toy car (in the air) or ride a saddle. You have to dodge balls while balancing on a rope, climb across a spider web, and walk across moving swing bridges, and so much more!

End of the day zipline

Once you're done the aerial park, you are not done for the day! As an award, when done, the staff reward you with ziplining! The park currently has three connected zip lines. Zipping through the trees back and forth is like nothing else. You can (on certain sections) take a running start as fast as possible to make yourself ZIP! Zipping back and forth was a fantastic way to end the day; I defiantly recommend not skipping the zip lines!
