Full description

At our Buena Vista outpost located one hour from Breckenridge, Vail, and Aspen, fly across our 6 line zip course and raft our Browns Canyon whitewater trip. Our zipline course includes a 900-foot dual race line, swinging log bridge, and hanging log staircase. Your heart will pound as you leap from our platforms built into natural features such as rock cliffs and towering old-growth pine trees. With views of the 14,000-foot Collegiate Peaks Mountain Range, your stomach will drop as you fly across 3,500 feet of cable. On your second adventure, raft 10 miles on through Browns Canyon on the beautiful Arkansas River. Navigate the class III rapids of the classic Browns Canyon National Monument, paddling through slightly larger waves and faster rapids such as Zoom Flume and Pinball. Browns Canyon white water rafting is appropriate for most ages and experience levels, and this trip delivers a mix of exhilarating whitewater and the majestic scenery of a granite canyon.

We had a wonderful time zip lining. Our guides, Sienna and Quinn, were funny, talkative, happy, and overall awesome! They made our zip line tour fly by. They also were very willing to help us in any way needed when we got locked out of our car. All of the staff members were caring and willing to lend a hand if needed. Would definitely recommend!

My sister and I had an mazing experience on the zipline course! Meghan and Julia were awesome guides and informative to keep everyone safe! I would 100% go again! The course is not too high up, but does require a small hike to the first course. Half day is 6 courses, the last one being the shortest.This course requires the skill of handbraking, which can prove challenging….

A huge shoutout to the crew at AVA Zipline. From the beginning they went above and beyond to make sure our experience was the best. Cameron and Kyle did an outstanding job going over all the safety parts of ziplining and once out on the course they knocked it out of the park! We would HIGHLY recommend AVA to anyone in the Idaho Springs area!
