If it's thrills you're after, then head down to the tiny mountain-top town of Saluda, near the South Carolina border. This is home to The Gorge, America’s steepest and fastest zipline canopy tour. With eleven ziplines that span 1.25 miles, you will descend from a thrilling 1,100 feet in the air, overlook 18,000 acres of the Green River Gorge, traverse a skybridge and conquer three huge rappels. Zoom from tree-top to tree-top at rapid speeds! The tour usually lasts about 3.5 hours, so you'll certainly get your money's worth! Book your ziplining adventure here
