At the Copper Canyon Adventure Park
Our Only Planned Activity Was Taking the Aerial Tram
To View the Copper Canyon ,
Mexico's Copper Canyon
Jon and I were Ready to Enter the Aerial Tram
The Tram Crossing One of the Six Canyons That
Make Up the Copper Canyon in the State of Chihuahua
The Views Were Amazing!
Can You See the Dwellings on the Lower Ridge?
The Tarahumara Indigenous People Live Here
When We Saw Some Ziplines Above and
Some Tarahumara Trails Below,
Jon Said He Wanted to Do the 7 Ziplines
I Laughingly Said, "They Have an Ambulance.
We're Safe. If You Go Ziplining, I'm Going, Too!"
We Were Still Only Playing with the Zipline Idea.
We Shopped for Tarahumara Wares and Souvenirs.
I Asked This Woman If I Could Take Her Photo.
She Agreed, Stood Up to Show Her Clothing, and Posed.
I Thanked Her and Tipped Her. She Shyly Smiled.
For A Tip, This Tarahumara Girl Allowed Me
To Take Her Photo with Her Little Sister.
Before I Could Think About My Fear of Heights,
Jon Was Strapped into a Zipline Harness
Jon Had His Helmet On and Was Adding Leather Gloves
While One of Our Two Assistants Helped Me with My Harness
Harnessed, Helmeted, And Ready For Training!

JON HAS LAUNCHED!
Getting Ready For Zipline Number 4 — 539 meters Long
We Did A Longer Zipline Tandem — 2 People Together
That's Jon in Front of Our Main Assistant!
We had Some Long, Unexpected Hikes on This Rough
Terrain Between Ziplines and Suspension Bridges
Our Hotel, Mansion Tarahumara,
Is Behind and Above Us on the Canyon Rim.
Crossing Our Second Suspension Bridge
Without Our Guides! What a View!
Can You Believe Jon Was Diagnosed with Parkinson's
Disease in 2017 and He's Doing This?!!
Exercise Slows Down the Progression or f PD,
But Do We Have to Hike at This Elevation?!!
Watch This Short Video of Our Solo Walk
That's Me Leading the Way. I Overcame My Fear
Of Heights by Looking Out at the View, NOT Down.
(And We Were Attached to A Safety Cable)
And Then We Hiked DOWN to the Next Zipline!
We Were Exhausted from All of the Walking
Our Wonderful Guides and Assistants
Earned Every Peso We Tipped Them!
These Tarahumara Children Wanted to Pose for a Photo and a Tip
While We Waited for the Aeriel Tram Back Across the Canyon
Beautiful People Living a Tough Life in the Copper Canyon
They are Also Known as Rarรกmuri, the Running People
In Part 1, Jon and I Rode the El Chepe Express Train
Jon and I Took On the Parkinson's Foundation
