Unlike other zipline courses positioned right alongside busy highways, the Cliffside Zipline course is built into cliff faces and mature trees making it truly an immersive mountain experience. It is an ideal choice for visitors staying in Golden, Summit County, Boulder, or Winter Park, all within an hour’s drive and is a great choice for family outings and group adventures.
Idaho Springs itself offers additional attractions that can extend your mountain adventure beyond the zipline experience. Our personal favorite is rafting on Clear Creek, which boasts some of Colorado’s most famous whitewater. Trip options include a a Classic 2h 30m trip, an intermediate 2h 30m trip and an intermediate full day trip.

In addition to expert paddling, she pointed out lots of wildlife along the way. Our driver to and from the put in/out location, David, was fantastic too. He was very helpful and fun too. I definitely recommend this company!Posted on Gary HallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was one of the best “adventures” we have ever had. The jeep trip up the mountain was breathtaking. The driver/guide was always pointing out things of interest…he was extremely knowledgeable and fun to listen. After the jeep trip we went whiter rafting. Again, just awesome. The “Captain” of our raft knew tons of information about things along the trip. Exciting but never anything dangerous. For the best and exciting opportunity in outdoor adventures you HAVE to go to Mild2Wild!!!Posted on Michael HendricksonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
