This was AWESOME! Easy to see why this zipline adventure is rated in the top five worldwide. We did the Combo Course (4 ziplines on the Woods Course and 4 on the Fins Course). We had two great guides (Christian and Angie- GREAT to have a female guide on the adventure for our 12-year-old daughter to see) who had the perfect balance of making it fun, but continually checking on everyone to make sure we were all still doing okay from zipline to zipline and re-checking our safety gear.
At about $225 per person for the Combo Course, it obviously is not cheap, but you are not just paying for a standard zipline course like you might have back home. You are paying for a premiere course in a premiere setting. Back home (in Door County, Wisconsin), we have a pretty cool course of 4 ziplines in the woods for about 1/3 of the price. But, after doing this Combo Course, that one back home seems like a kiddie ride.
One of the ziplines here sends you 1,200’ in length at a maximum height of 510’. Another zipline is 1,800’ long. All of this as you zip through some of the most beautiful and awesome landscapes in Colorado, not to mention the U.S. Then, you can also walk around in Seven Falls (a whole other adventure that would normally cost you over $40 for two adults and a kid 12 or under, if you were to do that separately). So, don’t let the price deter you. It’s something that you will have a very hard time beating when it comes to ziplining / adrenaline rush adventures that are safe.
I recommend doing the Combo Course, because it has the best of both courses. The first two ziplines also help break you in for the more intense ziplines, helping you get the hang of hand-braking, etc. They also have GoPro video cameras to rent ($40 each) and will secure them on your helmet and turn them on and off for you to preserve your battery (which is a big help, because in the excitement of everything it is easy to forget turning your camera on and off). You also keep the memory card and adapter. If you do get a GoPro and aren’t used to ziplining with one, I recommend holding the zipline handlebars with only your non-braking hand (the left) and then lean your head to the right so your camera has a clear view of the scenery (otherwise, you mostly just see your arms and hands instead of the awesome landscape). Then, when your guide signals you to brake, your braking hand is already off the handlebars, so all you have to do is reach up and brake.
We give this outfit 5 stars all the way! Our 12-year-old daughter wants to move to Colorado Springs, so she can go ziplining here more often! Can’t wait to return- hopefully, next summer!
