Big Pines Zipline Tours

Zipping 306 ft in the air at 55 mph from tree top to tree top. If that's not enough, how about walking across a 200 ft Sky-Bridge 180 ft off the ground? Still not enough? Then how about jumping 60 ft from a tree top, or rappelling 60 ft out of a giant Ponderosa Pine. This will be an experience you'll never get enough of and never forget. Give a call or visit our website to book your tour today!

Craving excitement? Look no further. Ziplines at Pacific Crest is located just 75 miles from Los Angeles, right above Rancho Cucamonga in the San Gabriel Mountains next to Mountain High Resort. Both of our zipline courses are literally built in the trees—enabling you to truly be in the environment, zipping from one platform to the next. Our Canopy Tour is one of the most thrilling zipline courses in the nation, offering heights of up to 300 feet off the forest floor, lengths of over 1,500 feet. Our Mountain View Tour provides another unique zipline experience and a bonus, unique experience—imagine leaping off a tree platform in controlled free-fall! (Now imagine doing it twice!) Contact our office for special group rates and programs.

Great place for zip lining but bummer about their refund policy. Once you pay and make a reservation, you cannot cancel and get your money back. We had done the Puerta Vallarta Ziplines in Mexico , and we thought this one would be piece of cake, but nope, they had adventurous stuff such as walking on wobbly narrow suspense bridges and rappelling, as well as zip lining . Adventure seekers don't have to fly to Costa Rica or Mexico to experience a great adrenaline rush, since it's right here in Wrightwood .

Mountain High Resort

Reviewed By TrDCpr - Long Beach, California

We've visited Mountain High in late January/early Feb in previous years, and bless them, they've tried to keep things going, but it's been sparsely covered with snow, with rocky patches and slush. This year though we're super pleased with the amount of snow, and in most places the condition of the surface. Thank goodness the record-breaking drought has taken a break, because there's still snow everywhere. Unfortunately there are some icy sections where the surface has hardened and not been groomed, and this is inconvenient in the steeper and less utilized areas, but the good news is that at least mid week(the only time we've gone) the crowds are so thin (shouldn't even use the word "crowds"), that there's absolutely no wait on the lifts and no risk of collision on the slopes. Absolutely priceless (but on that topic the prices aren't astronomical, and I like the fact that you can purchase a 4 hour pass beginning at any time, not an AM or PM pass on "their" schedule, so someone like me with limited endurance for skiing can get a bit of a break on the price by buying a 4 hour pass.

The staff seems friendly and capable enough--fortunately haven't tested them with an emergency! The food/beer is overpriced as usual, but I love getting a burger and beer at the outdoor patio area, as we've always gone there on sunny warm-ish days.

Mountain High

Mountain High North is Southern California's closest tubing facility! With up to 10 lanes available you can race the whole family!

Reviewed By Angie L - Whittier, California

We went there last weekend. The process to reserve a spot for a group of 50 was a disaster. A torture!!! We emailed since the beginning of January. Emailed so many times,very poor response . Called them and left a message on group sales several times , and when you finally get someone , they keep on saying they were going to send you what you need but they do t unless you call them 5-6 times a day. We never got out confirmation even though they said they will send it. We had to leave at 4:30 to get there before 7 o'clock, just to ensure we had our spot. Waste of time. And when you finally get to the tubing park, you only get to go three or four times in 2 hours does there is at least 150 to 200 people trying to go to the same slide, so it is like $5/slide. Not recommended!!! Never again!!!

Just up the road from Wrightwood and couple miles down the road from Wateman on Angelus Crest highway at an elevation of 7300 feet , the Grassy Hollow Visitor's Center is a great place to stop to have a picnic, bird watch off the back deck or learn about the flora and fauna of the area. Volunteers from the visitors center offer talks and hikes in the area. Hours are 10AM to 4PM.

Booking a BMW GS in Prague back in Mar for my June bike trip, I had a few questions to clarify before actually confirmed the booking. The staff kept pushing me to pay my deposit to secure the bike first because, he said, it would be peak season ahead. So I paid the deposit and kept chasing for the answers.
Unfortunately, my teammate got a serious decease in April. I had to cancel the booking and asked for a refund of deposit. Right after that email was sent, the staff sent me his answers to my previous numerous emails. Then I repeated my request to cancel the booking. He replied finally telling me that a charge would be imposed on the cancellation, never told me how much though. I wrote to explain my situation and hoping he would waive the charges cause It was a 50 days notice prior to June. He said he would ask his boss in the weekend and get back to me.
I waited for another 3 weeks until I totally lost my patience because he had never got back to me. An official complaint was then sent to the company, and a 20% charge (of the total rental price) was made finally.
The guy has successfully pulled me into a trap and left me unattended. "Great" job.

Definitely a locals watering hole but welcoming to all who venture in. Good drink and local flavor. Stop in and enjoy Wrightwood. Pool tables, juke box and decent bar fare are always available. Associated with the Evergreen Cafe.
