Itinerary

Zip Lining

Join AVA for one of the most exciting and popular Colorado mountain summer adventures - ziplining! Our zip line course is perched above our Idaho Springs office just 30 minutes outside of Denver. After a scenic nature hike to get to the start of the course, take on five zips of varying length through the trees and cliffs before crossing over Chicago Creek for an exhilarating finish.  After completing zip lining, we'll refuel with a hearty lunch.

 


Checking In

Before you head out the door, double-check the meeting time listed on your confirmation. This is the time you will want to arrive at the outpost. If you arrive earlier than the listed time, you may spend a lot of time waiting around for the other groups to arrive. If you arrive 20+ minutes after the listed time, you will forfeit your reservation.


 


Liability Waivers

Once you arrive at our outpost, check in with our friendly office staff and sign liability waivers. You can also download and print your waivers in advance. If anyone in your group is under 18 years old and will not be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, they will need to get their waiver signed in advance and bring it with them the day of the trip.

 


Time to hit the course!

Once you've checked in and collected your gear, it's time to go zip lining! We'll shuttle you to the start of the course, go through a brief orientation and a thorough safety talk before you'll clip and start zipping!

 


Post-trip review

After you finish zipping, you'll head back to the outpost and turn in your gear. Check out the hilarious and action-packed photos from the day, and get your favorites burned to a disc to take home and print yourself. You'll also have a chance to browse our retail shop for tons of AVA souvenirs.
