Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
We mentioned Cypress Valley Canopy Tours in a recent article, but we focused on the epic treehouses available for overnight lodging rather than the main attraction: ziplining. Hidden in the thick foliage of Spicewood, this park allows you to get a bird’s-eye view of the abundant plant and animal life inhabiting the forest as you fly through the treetops. I’ve been here and can personally attest to how much fun it is, but don’t take my word for it – go have the experience of a lifetime for yourself.
You'll soar through the canopy of ancient cypress trees, some over 100 feet tall.
It's almost like an above-ground obstacle course, with swinging brides (the guides make you go backwards across one of them!), rappelling, and flying through the treetops.
Not only is it incredibly fun, but also an educational experience. The knowledgeable guides will teach you all about the different plants and animals residing in the forest surrounding you.
Starting off short and easy to get you acclimated to the course, the zips slowly increase in length leading up to the very last one, which is over 350 feet long!
After your exhilarating journey, you're invited to stick around, unwind, and enjoy the rest of the park's amenities which include a private lake, swimming pool, and plenty of picnic tables.
