It makes sense that Atlanta—known as the city in the trees—is home to so many ziplines. Flying from treetop to treetop is the perfect way to shake the heat during our summer months, avoid the crowds, and pump the adrenaline. And, many places offer scaled-down versions for the littlest adventurers. So bring your sense of adventure and get flying!
