Stunning Scenery

We are not the zipline course right on the interstate, with all of our platforms built into natural cliffs and treetops. Although our Outpost is conveniently just a quarter mile from I-70, you feel a world away with the undeveloped mountain forest and big drops on our zipline tour. Soar above historic Idaho Springs and even over the Chicago Creek as you land directly back at our outpost.
