Zipline & Rock Climb Adventure
How a Package Works
A. First Activity
Join us on a full-day expedition and uncover the beauty of Colorado through two distinct activities. At our Buena Vista location, you’ll have the chance to climb the Granite Gorge Cliffs next to our outpost. Following a comprehensive orientation on climbing technique, belaying, and equipment, you’ll ascend the Rocky Mountains on one of our top rope climbing courses. With multiple routes to choose from, your guide will lead your group on a climb tailored to accommodate all skill levels. This adventure not only promises an exhilarating experience but also offers the opportunity to refine your climbing skills and marvel at breathtaking Colorado vistas.

Following your initial adventure, replenish your energy with a well-deserved lunch break. You will either need to bring your own packed lunch or head into town for a bite to eat, depending on your trip location. Please refer to your trip description for specific details. Your guide will also keep you updated on the schedule and meeting point for the day’s next activity!

After lunch, meet back with your guide and get ready for the next exciting portion of your Colorado outdoor adventure. As the outpost fades from view below, you’ll take a short ride up to our zipline course. Your guide will provide comprehensive instructions for your zipline adventure before sending you out to fly across six different ziplines! Our course offers a high-altitude perspective of the Rocky Mountains, providing a distinct vantage point of the Arkansas River Valley.
We offer ziplining and rock-climbing packages at our Buena Vista location.

What to Know About Ziplining & Rock Climbing Adventures
Best of Colorado
Your rock-climbing adventure kicks off at our Buena Vista Outpost, where you will top rope climb the Granite Gorge Cliffs. As you ascend to lofty heights above the Arkansas River Valley, you will be rewarded with stunning vistas of the towering 14,000-foot Collegiate Peaks and the meandering Arkansas River below. The scenery on your zipline adventure will also not disappoint, as you again find yourself up high, amidst the Rocky Mountain treetops. Our zipline course is seamlessly integrated into the mountainside rather than built on platforms. This provides a unique way to truly immerse yourself in Colorado’s cliffsides and rock faces.
Options for Everyone
During the rock-climbing segment of your adventure, your group, with the help from your guide, will select from two distinct climbing routes tailored to accommodate beginner or intermediate climbers. Not only is this experience an exhilarating outdoor activity with breathtaking Colorado panoramas, but an opportunity for novice climbers to develop skills in belaying, rappelling, and knot tying. Our zipline course is also ideal for all levels, with kids as young as 7 encouraged to participate. Your entire group will have fun zipping and laughing between the treetops on this six-line adventure course.
One Convenient Location
All ziplining and rock-climbing packages are based at our Buena Vista outpost, conveniently located just an hour from Summit County and Vail. Positioned amidst the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, this outpost provides an unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in one of Colorado’s most unique and picturesque regions. Situated at the base of the Collegiate Peaks within the Sawatch Mountain Range, Buena Vista boasts an elevation of nearly 8,000 feet. With more 14ers than any other area in Colorado, it offers unparalleled opportunities for high-altitude exploration. The Continental Divide to the east and the Arkansas River through town ensures a diverse array of mountain and river adventures. Whether you’re planning a day trip or an extended vacation in the Buena Vista area, you’ll discover a wealth of activities to enjoy.

We had an incredible experience with AVA Rafting & Zipline last weekend for our birthdays! My husband, two friends, and I went white water rafting in Buena Vista, and it was an adventure we'll never forget. Our guide, Todd, was absolutely amazing. His expertise and enthusiasm made the trip both thrilling and safe. We tackled class 4 rapids, and Todd’s guidance ensured we had an exhilarating and enjoyable time. The scenery was breathtaking, and the entire tour was perfectly organized from start to finish. If you're looking for a top-notch rafting experience with skilled and friendly guides, look no further than AVA Rafting & Zipline. We can't wait to return for another adventure!
Read More »We had a great and fun experience with AVA rafting company!! They did an amazing job from start to finish. The staff was professional, friendly, and made sure everyone had a fantastic time on the river. I highly recommend AVA for anyone looking for an adventurous and memorable rafting trip. Sean did an amazing job going over all the details of white water rafting before getting on the river. He was so fun and had so much energy. Oh yes, and his jokes were very funny! :-)
Aldon, our raft guide, was the best of the best!!! He made the trip so fun and so easy to get through the river!! Thank you Aldon!
We loved this rafting trip. We are staying in Vail, so it was a 1 hour 15 minute drive... but it was worth it. We had 2 - 50 year old adults and three teens in our group and we all loved it. The rapids were just thrilling enough for us as we were looking for class 3 rafting. And the trip was a great length. The views of the Canyon were gorgeous the entire way. The guides were very friendly and likeable. We had Elliot and our whole group thought he was great. They had good equipment too: wetsuits, water proof jackets, helmets and life jackets. Their rafts had good spots to lock in your feet so you felt safe and like you wouldn't fall out of the raft... unless you weren't being smart.
Just so folks understand the time commitment: 1 1/4 drive each way from Vail, 1/2 hour to check in and get suited up at their outpost; 1/2 drive to the launch spot; about 1 1/2 hours rafting; 45 mins back to outpost... we were scheduled for 9 and were done and heading out about 12:30.
