Browns Canyon Adventure Park offers four courses and two thrilling challenges, including sixty-six elements and seven zip lines. Both individual and team obstacles exist. Courses are rated like ski trails, with green, blue and black markers. It overlooks the Browns Canyon National Monument, which is free to explore and offers several riverside campgrounds.
