SUMMER'S SUPERHERO blockbusters may stir up a desire to soar like Superman or power through the skies like Tony Stark. Would-be crusaders can play out their fantasies this May to October at Alternative Adventures Zip Line, just off the Yellowhead near Hinton, outside Jasper National Park's east gates. While other zip lines attach riders to the cable in a seated position, this one puts them into the prone position, fl ying-style. After strapping into a full-body harness, participants take a running leap off a fi ve-metre-high platform. As soon as their feet leave the edge, the line takes over and the fl ying begins – roughly 20 seconds of air time hurtling over 366 metres of alpine meadow, with incredible views of the Rockies. Participants can soar solo or tandem. –Catherine Melnyk Airborne Get Hooray, it's the Drift truck! Gourmet sandwiches for everyone.
