Guide to Zip Lining and Aerial Parks in Colorado

Ziplining makes for a fun, action-packed day in the Colorado countryside. Mostly all ages can enjoy this high-flying activity. Zip line tours can be found everywhere, from deep in the mountains to the urban Front Range.

A zip line is an aerial rope-slide, consisting of a pulley suspended on a metal cable, usually made of stainless steel. Some are built naturally on treetops or use cliffs to launch from an incline, gaining speeds of around 35-50 miles per hour. Others have man-made launch platforms that use an incline to zip to the next platform.

Aerial parks provide a wide array of off-the-ground challenges. From rope crosses to swinging bridges, aerial courses are designed for all ages and skill levels. In addition to the aerial course, each park has a zip line tour, to further the fun.

Both activities are breathtaking adventures that the whole family can try. It’s available year-round at many venues and seasonal at a few of them. There are some size and age limits, so check ahead before you go.

Various zip lines and aerial parks have different requirements, usually a minimum and maximum weight limit. Some require guests to be at least 50 pounds and a maximum of 270 pounds. It’s always best to check with the individual place.

Many of the Colorado zip line courses are open year-round, so you can enjoy them even when there’s snow on the ground. Dress appropriately and always bring an extra layer. You can always leave it in the car.
