The new zipline at the Evarts Trailhead in Baileys Creek, named Black Mountain Thunder, is set to open Thursday. Members of the Harlan County Outdoor Recreation Board Authority describe the opening as a “soft opening.” “We start off soft to get some money rolling in. We will have a grand opening in October,” said board member Ken Crider. Visitors will be taken on a twelve-lines-long zipline tour that takes them along the mountainside and across the valley. A tour for a group of 10 is expected to take about two hours.
