Full description
Our granite course at our Buena Vista outpost is just one hour from Breckenridge, Vail, and Aspen and begins with a thrilling zipline to your starting point! You will ascend crags and rappel above the Arkansas River Valley, gaining magnificent views of the 14000+ foot Collegiate Peaks throughout the entire course. You will traverse across iron rungs, bars, and ladders built into the granite cliffside, high above the Arkansas River Valley. This course is a more exposed, edgier rendition of AVA’s Mount Evans Via Ferrata in Idaho Springs and one that will have your heart pumping as you explore the mountaintops of the beautiful Colorado Rockies. Guests clip in and out of cables that run along the side of a cliff, moving along a designated path of iron rungs and bridges. Our course utilizes an internal locking system with 2 carabiners that make it impossible to clip out of both at the same time, ensuring that climbers always remain connected to the course.

Our guides were Lexie and Tommy and they made our trip so much fun! If you are allowed to request guides, request them if you are looking for music (oldies), singing and dancing while you wait your turn, light-heartedness, history about the area, strong sense of safety, and complete joy. There were 6 ziplines, each with their own unique adventure through the Rocky Mountains. Highly recommend.
