Zip Line Date Ideas for Couples

You and your partner strap into a harness and zip down a long cable high above the ground. It is a quick way to get your heart going and see some nice views. These eight locations give you different backdrops from mountains to lakes. You do not need to be an expert. Most places have tandem options so you can go together. After you finish the ride you can sit and talk about what just happened. The whole activity takes a few hours and leaves you with stories to tell later. It works well when you want a date that feels different from dinner and a movie.
