Zipline around the mountains of Idaho Springs, take a scenic float down the Upper Colorado River, explore 20,000 acres of trails of Kremmling on a off-road UTV, cast a fishing line on a guided trip, soar over the plains in a hot air balloon, or discover surreal scenes within Rocky Mountain National Park.

GREAT ADVENTURE  (Five Stars) – Joe W.

We had a great trip with AVA. We camped onsite on Friday when we arrived and the staff was great when we arrived. We had the camping sites all to ourselves. We booked an overnight rafting trip in Browns Canyon. Our guide G (Alex G.) was awesome and so were the other guides along on the trip, Joey and Zeb. We had a blast hanging out with the guides and had wonderful food along the river. I would definitely recommend AVA for anyone looking for an adventure!

AMAZING! (Five Stars) – Meagan

Absolutely amazing! Our guides Spencer and MJ were so much fun! It was 6 of us and none of us have ever done anything like this… they made the whole experience so much fun from shaking our nerves off from the beginning to solving riddles at the end. We would definitely come back and do this again with them! If you ever want to get out of your comfort zone, don’t miss out on this even if you are afraid of heights (like all of us were) and make sure when you book to get MJ and Spencer!

MOST ADVENTURE I’VE HAD IN YEARS! (Five Stars) – Lena B.

We did the Via Ferrara course in Idaho Springs, CO for our honeymoon. It was a blast, the course lasted about 2.5 hours, and was a decent challenge without being exhausting. We are both in our early 20’s, and in very average shape. The course was beautiful, and involved a free fall, rapel down a 90ft cliff, and several ziplines. Spencer and Emily were our guides, and they were a lot of fun! 10/10, would do again in a heart beat!
