Wow, thanks. :cmas16 Tilikum was right there when I searched "zip line" and "Newberg," but I had discounted it because I didn't think WRP would hook up with a private religious college (George Fox U. takes up a chunk of downtown Newberg). Kmz attached.

Fabulous find, thanks Boingo.

Challenge Course
Tilikum's challenge course is a collection of ropes, cables, wooden beams, tires, and logs assembled to present activities for the purpose of individual and group growth and discovery.
The structures (normally referred to as "elements") made from these materials are placed anywhere from ground level to 123 feet up in the trees. Our course is located in an impressive stand of 100-year-old Douglas fir trees. Our indoor facility -- styled after a Northwest Indian longhouse -- also allows us to run year-round programs. Our course was originally built by Project Adventure Inc. and has been maintained by Synergo, a leader in the field of challenge course facilitation,construction, training, and inspection.
"It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves."
-- Sir Edmund Hillary
