Camping and Zipline Canopy Tour - Trip is Full
Details
Since this was such a popular and fun event last year, we're doing it again! Located just 75 miles from downtown Los Angeles is a thrilling, 100% tree-based zipline adventure in the San Gabriel Mountains. This adventure will take you deep into the forest and send you soaring across Buford Canyon at speeds up to 55 miles per hour!

Once we're done there, we'll head to the campground at Table Mountain for an overnight stay with a potluck dinner! I've reserved two sites. The campground provides a beautiful escape from urban life and campers will find hiking, mountain biking, birding and countless other recreation opportunities.
