Outdoor activities help you sample Branson area's beauty

John Gifford for the St Louis Post-Dispatch wrote a nice article about Branson...she starts out the story this way:
BRANSON, MO. • For many of the 8 million visitors who travel to Branson each year, the city's live music shows and family-friendly atmosphere are its most prominent attractions. And why not? With its theaters offering about 56,000 seats, Branson boasts more theater seats than New York City's Broadway. But its greatest show may be the one playing beyond the city's opulent theaters and the frenetic stretch of Highway 76 known as "The Strip."

And moves on to highlight various outdoor activities including Branson Zipline Canopy Tours. In the story here's a nice quote from our general manager:

"We have actually worked hard to ensure this is a low-impact activity for multiple generations to enjoy," says General Manager Emma Hamilton. "The most challenging aspect for most participants is overcoming their issue with heights."

John continues the story with this: So put your fear of heights aside and select from several different tours, including the Ozarks Xplorer Canopy Tour, a 2.5-hour trek incorporating swinging walkways, suspension bridges, and numerous zip lines.
