A new zip-line attraction was unveiled at Natural Bridge Caverns. If you have no fear of heights this may be something to check out. 

They added a new tower that rises four stories high and has zip lines feeding off into the woods. The tower took two months to build and came in at just over $1 million.

But is all this safe?  

“You're clipped in at two safety points the entire time. The moment you step one foot off the ground you’re in the safety system, and you can’t get out of it,” said Travis Wuest  VP for Natural Bridge Caverns. 
 
The Canopy Challenge has four zip lines and an obstacle course that has about 47 challenges. 

Wuest says that you have to be a certain height to climb the course, but if not, you can go with an adult. 

The tower will be open daily and cost up to $25 for both the course and access to the zip lines.
 
Natural Bridge Caverns is about a half hour north of  Loop1604 off of I-35. If heights aren’t your thing you may want to stick to the caves.
