The Experience

Before You Go

Mind the weight limits

Operators strictly enforce a maximum (~245 lbs) and minimum (~40 lbs); expect to be weighed on a calibrated scale before zipping.

Hydrate and acclimate

At close to 9,000 ft even short hikes can feel hard — drink water and avoid overexertion immediately before the course.

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes

Good traction and ankle support help on uneven trail sections between platforms.

Bring a windproof layer

Mountain winds can pick up quickly at platform heights; a light jacket improves comfort without restricting harness fit.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

Conservation Note

Operators emphasize staying on designated trails and minimizing noise to avoid stressing wildlife; pack out all trash and follow leave-no-trace principles.

The high foothills are part of the long geological story of the Rockies’ uplift; Ute and Arapaho peoples historically used these ridgelines for travel and hunting.
