The same three dual ziplines, flown after dark. A 4×4 Humvee carries you over 1,000 feet of vertical to the top of the ranch in Buellton, then you fly over a mile and a half of cable back down to Basecamp with the moon over the ridge and the lights of the Santa Ynez Valley below. Up to 8 guests per tour, about 2 hours on course — and on Halloween weekend, the only costumes required are a harness and a helmet.
