Zip Adventures at 4Eagles Ranch

Here’s something new to entertain you this summer – ziplines that span the Colorado River near Glenwood Springs.

The new Glenwood Canyon Zipline Adventures course is under construction 1.5 miles east of Glenwood. A sister company of Rock Gardens Rafting, the attraction will feature three ziplines and a high-ropes challenge course.

The owners expect to have the attraction open around Memorial Day. The zipline allows you to fly 35 feet in the air across the Colorado. For more information, go to Glenwood Canyon Zipline Adventures.

4Eagles Ranch near Wolcott, 15 miles west of Vail combines a short hike with the zipline experience.

And near Durango, Soaring Tree Top Adventures features 34 platforms with more than 24 spans on an elaborate zipline course.

Closer to home, Captain Zipline Adventure Tours offers zipline rides on six separate cables near Salida.
