Why Visit Zipline

Soar over Quartermaster Canyon on twin zip lines at Grand Canyon West. The two‑stage ride covers 3,200 ft, reaching speeds of up to 40 mph and heights of 700 ft, delivering an adrenaline rush with sweeping West Rim views.

Highlights

Description

Opened in 2018 by the Hualapai Tribe, the Zipline at Grand Canyon West lets you “fly” across a dramatic side canyon of the Colorado River. Riders launch in groups of four from two steel towers, first gliding 1,100 ft, then transferring to a 2,100‑ft line that hangs roughly 700 ft above the canyon floor. Automatic braking, certified guides, and mandatory safety briefings keep the experience secure. Lockers, water stations, and a nearby snack bar make it easy to spend an hour or two before exploring other West Rim attractions such as the Skywalk and Guano Point.
