Fins Course Scenic Zipline Tour Over Seven Falls Canyon — Colorado Springs Zipline Adventure
Soar above Seven Falls Canyon on a three-hour zipline circuit that threads cliffs, suspension bridges and a 180-foot rappel. This guide explains what to expect, safety limits, and how to prepare for Colorado Springs’ most dramatic aerial ride.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive 15 minutes early
Check in at the reservations booth at 6 Lake Ave to complete waivers and the mandatory weigh-in; late arrivals may miss the tour.
Wear close-toed shoes
All toes must be in the same compartment—no sandals or five-toed footwear—so you can climb ladders and landings comfortably.
Hydrate before and after
Bottled water is provided, but the dry Colorado air and adrenaline can dehydrate you—drink extra fluids earlier in the day.
Secure small items
Use provided pouches for phones/keys; large cameras must be left with ground staff to be returned after the course.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •After the course, walk the short paths at the canyon floor to see spray pools and small cascades few visitors catch.
- •Drive up nearby Gold Camp Road for scenic overlooks and old railroad tunnel ruins—best in late afternoon light.
Wildlife
- •Mule deer
- •Red-tailed hawk
Conservation Note
The operation limits physical contact with rock faces and uses established platforms to reduce erosion; visitors are asked to stay on marked paths and pack out trash.
Seven Falls has been a public attraction since the 1880s; the canyon exposes ancient sedimentary layers that tell a story of inland seas and mountain-building events.
Photographer's Notes
- • Mid-course suspension bridge for vertical cliff shots
- • Platform before the 180-ft rappel for scale and depth
- • Canyon floor near the base for waterfall spray and layered rock close-ups

Common Questions
What are the weight limits for the zipline?
Participants must weigh between 90 and 250 pounds; all guests are discreetly weighed before departure for safety.
How long is the tour and what is included?
The Fins Course lasts about three hours and includes guides, all gear, bottled water, and transport by air-conditioned minivan from the meeting point.
Can I bring a camera or backpack on the course?
Small items can go in provided pouches; larger cameras or backpacks cannot be taken on the lines but will be transported and returned by ground staff.
Are children allowed?
Age restrictions aren’t specified here; fitness and the 90-pound minimum weight requirement mean younger children are unlikely to qualify—check with the operator before booking.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Tours may be delayed or canceled for weather; cancel at least 24 hours in advance for a full refund if needed.
Is there parking and where is the meeting point?
Yes—park in the lot adjacent to the meeting location at 6 Lake Ave, across from the Golden Bee; arrive 15 minutes early to check in.
