The Experience

Before You Go

Reconfirm 24 hours ahead

You must call the operator 24 hours before departure to verify tour conditions and avoid cancellation.

Footwear matters

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes with good traction — platform transitions and short hikes can be slippery.

Observe the weight limits

Maximum 245 lbs and minimum 40 lbs are strictly enforced and guests are weighed on a calibrated scale before ziplining.

Hydrate and layer

Bring a small water bottle and a lightweight insulating layer; mountain temps and sun exposure change quickly.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Drive a short distance to Lookout Mountain for panoramic Front Range views and a quieter sunset spot.
  • Pull off along Clear Creek Canyon for short, less-crowded trailheads and creekside birdwatching.

Wildlife

  • Mule deer
  • Red-tailed hawk

Conservation Note

Operators encourage staying on established trails and following Leave No Trace principles to protect riparian areas and nesting raptors in the park.

The Front Range foothills contain old mining roads and trails from the late 19th century; many recreational routes reuse these historic access corridors.
