Ziplines originally were invented for just two functions: sneaking hamburgers over the Berlin Wall and jazzing up presidential entrances to State of the Union addresses. Keep gravitational pull from cramping your style with today's Groupon: for $24, you get a full-course zipline canopy tour from Max Zipline in Provo Canyon (a $49 value).

Max Zipline equips visitors with all the necessary gear to whir into a rollicking zipline tour through the scenic Provo Canyon. The tour snakes across the Wasatch Mountains and the Provo River, rocketing treetop trailblazers above riverfront landscapes so they can mingle with passing birds. In between zipping, customers can take in the fresh mountain air. The canopy tour can accommodate parties of any size with flexible scheduling, so customers can launch their pilgrimage across the canopy at a convenient time. Riders cannot weigh more than 275 pounds, so be sure to empty pockets of gold bullion before embarking on the 90-minute escapade.
