Trip Recommender
Enjoy the best of Clear Creek’s Gold Rush rafting and the thrill of zip lining in one action-packed day! You begin your day flying from ridge to ridge over a forest of Douglas Fir and Ponderosa Pines. After descending down the mountain you will finish with an exciting 450-foot line running directly into the AVA backyard to begin your second half of the day’s adventure.
