Flightlinez Bootleg Canyon – 4 Ziplines – 1.5 Miles – 60+ MPH
We had a fantastic day at the Bootleg Canyon Ziplines which was quite the outdoor adventure we had been looking for. The tour took about two and half hours and combined hiking in the mountains, ziplining and just relaxing while taking in the beautiful views surrounding the area. We highly recommend this zipline tour for families with kids (75+ lbs) that are looking to get out of Las Vegas for the day and have an fun adventure.
Bootleg Canyon Zipline Video
Here is the GoPro video of zipline run #3 which is a long run that was fast to start and then inclined toward the end and didn’t require any braking. To get a better sense of what it’s like to ride the zipline, change the video setting to one of the High Definition versions and view it full screen.

Since we needed our hands to hold on to our harness or to apply the brakes, we had our camera zipped up in our harness. Below are some zipline video screen grabs or pre/post zipline pictures of the zipline runs. If you have a GoPro camera, Flightlinez offers helmets that the camera can be attached to.

Heading down the first zipline run was very thrilling, but being the first run you also have that nervous energy. Once we landed after this first run, all the nervousness was gone for the other zip line runs. | Photo by FamilyVacationHub
Here we are launching from the second Bootleg Canyon zipline run. This run zipped over the canyon which overlooks Boulder City and was a fast and fun ride. | Photo by FamilyVacationHub

This was my point of view on the third zipline run of the day. This zipline was the longest run of the day and started out fast but the climb back up to the landing platform slowed us down enough to not use our brakes. Nothing to do on this run but sit back and enjoy. | Photo by FamilyVacationHub

Bootleg Canyon Zipline Run #4 is the shortest of all of the runs, but this short zip line ride is all speed. The run is so fast that you brake a bit after the halfway point in order to slow down for the landing platform. | Photo by FamilyVacationHub
Flightlinez Bootleg Canyon Zipline Tour Guides
Our zipline tour guides were very friendly, funny, professional and most importantly, completely safety-conscious. There are four guides that accompany you on your tour; two guides zipline down before you and then give you signals (with flags) for your run while two guides stay up top and get you safely strapped in and then launch you down the ziplines. Below are some pictures of our zipline tour guides hard at work – and play as they do get paid to zipline!
