Before it was a mountain bike park, Jerusalem Landing had a different life. The land in the hills above Horseshoe Bend, Idaho has been in owner Eric Faull’s family for a long time, and for over a decade it was home to Zip Idaho, a ziplining business Faull built and ran himself.
A Business Built on a Different Kind of Gravity
As Singletracks Mountain Bike News reported in a feature on the park, Faull came to ziplining after years of working as a heli-ski guide and whitewater rafting guide, with a trip to Costa Rica helping spark the idea. Zip Idaho ran for more than a decade on the property, giving visitors a canopy-style tour through the same hills that now make up Faull Line Gravity Park.
When the Pandemic Changed Everything
Zip Idaho closed during the pandemic, when the business and staffing challenges of that period made it difficult to keep running. Rather than let the property sit idle, Faull started exploring the terrain on two wheels. According to Singletracks, he began building bike trails on the land “kind of just for fun,” and it did not take long to realize the hillside had real potential as a riding destination.
Turning Existing Infrastructure Into a Bike Park
One advantage Faull had was the road network already cut into the property for the ziplining operation. Those roads now serve as the shuttle route that carries riders and bikes to the top of the mountain at Faull Line Gravity Park, the same kind of practical, hands-on approach that shaped the property’s first business. The terrain itself, with roughly 600 feet of elevation loss spread across flowing, rolling ground rather than steep and rocky sections, turned out to be well suited to progressive, bike-park-style trail building.
A Local Story, Told by Local Riders
The park’s opening has drawn attention from outlets covering both the Boise area and the mountain biking community more broadly, including a feature from BoiseDev on the old Zip Idaho property’s transformation. You can read more about that coverage on our in the news page.

What started as a ziplining outfit built by one person is now a shuttle-served downhill bike park open to the public, still built and run with the same hands-on approach. If you want to see the terrain for yourself, check out the trail difficulty guide or book your all-day pass for your next visit.
