   BUNGEE JUMP AND HIKE CALIFORNIA ($175.00 CAD) ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT!!

This day will be full of adventure! We will have plenty of opportunities to create memories that will last a life time—and capture them on film! Imagine standing on the edge of a bridge with steep canyon walls rising above you. Your sweaty palms grip the rail, your throat is dry, and your heart beats so hard you feel it through your chest. You feel a rush as adrenaline surges through your body. Looking down at the raging water ten stories below, you hear the encouragement of your friends standing next to you as the countdown begins.

The road to our bungee bridge was washed out many years ago, leaving behind a hiking trail approximately four miles long. This trail winds its way along a sparkling mountain river through the beautiful Angeles National Forest. The hike is moderately difficult and takes approximately 2 hours, each direction. Join us for this all-day adventure that combines the action of bungee jumping and the incomparable beauty of this pristine park.
