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.

Their Jeeps were in great condition and took us to see parts of the untouched countryside that I have never seen before. We will certainly use them again on our next trip to Durango. Jane Turpen2024-10-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We took a jeep trip up into the mountains to enjoy the fall scenery. The colors were beautiful, our guide,Jay, was excellent, and our group of six was great! We even saw them on our train trip back to Durango. There were some health issues for one traveler and a fear of heights for another. Jay was just terrific in handling both! He was caring but didn’t make a big issue of either. Just took the time to make sure everyone was doing okay and made it a good experience for all. It was a terrific day! Margot Wacks2024-10-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked the guided Mesa Verde trip for our family of four. Our guide was Lee, he was INCREDIBLE!!! A wealth of knowledge, kind, considerate, engaging, and wonderful with our two small children (7 and 10) who at times have endless questions. He really made the history come alive for all of us and definitely made the trip a fun historical adventure! He was just wonderful to work with and made the entire experience one we will never forget. This was our first experience with a guided tour and we will definitely do this again. Not having to worry about driving, navigating the park traffic, getting lost, or not making it to the our scheduled palace tour on time was a huge relief. Everything was planned for us, including lunch. We just had to show up and enjoy!
