Zip, Rip, Repeat: A Two‑Hour Adirondack Sprint from Gabriels to Scott’s Cobble

Zip, Rip, Repeat: A Two‑Hour Adirondack Sprint from Gabriels to Scott’s Cobble.
The Zip and Whip Expedition stitches two distinct Adirondack rushes into one outing: a 200cc UTV track in Gabriels that pushes to 30 mph across rugged terrain, then a zipline circuit on Scott’s Cobble Mountain in Lake Placid that runs six zips totaling over 2,000 feet with uninterrupted views of the Great Range Mountains and the Olympic Bobsled Track.

Outing Highlights
UTV Track: Short, Fast, Hands‑On
The Farmhouse UTV portion is a 45‑minute, adrenaline‑forward ride on 200 cc vehicles that can reach a top speed of 30 mph; karts are fitted with rugged tires and suspension and accommodate up to two people per vehicle.
Skyward Lines Over the Great Range
The zipline course on Scott’s Cobble Mountain comprises six zips totaling more than 2,000 feet, designed to keep the Great Range Mountains (and the Olympic Bobsled Track) in view throughout the two‑hour experience.
Guided, Incremental, Audience‑Friendly
Two guides accompany participants on the zipline course, beginning with smaller, lower zips and increasing height as the tour progresses; participants may exit the course at any time, and observers can watch from the Welcome Center or walk beneath the lines to photograph the flights.
