FAQs

What is a Zipline?
A popular vacation activity, our Zipline consists of a series of cables stretching over 350 feet between towers across the Colorado River. You’ll gear up, climb the launch tower, clip in and step off! The force of gravity will zip you down the wire to the tower on the other side of the river. Cross the suspension bridge to the return tower for a thrilling zip back!

What is a Challenge Course?
Defined as a “challenging outdoor personal development and team building activity consisting of high elements” our ropes course is built for both the challenge and for fun! A series of cables stretching between towers over 35 feet above the ground form an assortment of different elements. You’ll be harnessed and secured on a rope belay system as you move through the course. Our several different features are designed to test your skill, balance, nerves and strength.

Who can participate?
Kids of all ages are welcome! A minimum height of 48 inches is required. All children must be accompanied by a participating adult. Please call our office with any questions. Participants must be able to fit into our harnesses and be in good health. If you are pregnant, have heart trouble or other medical concerns, please consult your doctor before participating. You will need to sign an Assumption of Risk Waiver.

What should I wear?
Because you’ll be wearing a climbing harness, we recommend pants but knee length shorts are fine. No loose clothing or jewelry. And please pull back your long hair. For your safety, bare feet, sandals and flip flips are not allowed. Closed toe shoes are required.  Sorry, no Crocs! We also suggest a strap for your sunglasses/glasses.

What if it rains?
A little rain won’t stop the fun! However, we will delay/cancel a trip due to high winds and/or lightening.

Can I bring my camera?
Since we can’t retrieve cameras dropped in the river, we have hired professional photographers to record your memories. They will capture the expression of your kid’s face as they scream across the zipline! Be sure to stop by the front desk to review your photo CD available for purchase.

Is it safe?
Safety is our number one concern! We use only the highest quality equipment and our course has been designed, constructed and inspected by Adventure Experience, Inc. a professional vendor member of the Association for Challenge Course Technology. Our zipline and ropes course staff is fully trained to ACCT standards, and inspects the course and gear daily. As with any outdoor adventure experience, some inherent risk is involved.

Do I need a reservation?
Our Zipline and Ropes Course have a limited capacity. Advanced reservations are highly recommended, however we are happy to accept last minute reservations as space allows. Please call 1-888-4 ZIP FUN
