Denver, Colorado is a great city to visit. There is much to see and do as well as many opportunities and adventures that await less than an hour away. In the majestic Rocky Mountains close to Denver, you’ll find the most exciting adventure of all: Zip-lining on the highest and longest course in the state!

Zip-lining Denver ColoradoZip-lining in Colorado near Denver? You bet! Our course along Clear Creek in the little mining town of Idaho Springs is a stone’s throw from I-70 and only 35 minutes from downtown Denver. Zip-lining makes a great adventure activity for anyone, with minimal height and weight restrictions. Check out our Denver Canopy Tours page for details.

Idaho Springs has a rich mining history. In fact, our offices are located right inside the Argo Gold Mine and Mill, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. We’re simple and easy to get to: Just head west on I-70 from downtown Denver, take Idaho Springs exit 241A, and there we are. You can’t miss the Argo Mine sign visible from just about everywhere in town.

Argo Gold Mine and MillIdaho Springs is itself worth a visit. A charming main street, shops, restaurants, history, mine tours, a mining museum (with the largest collection of mining memorabilia in the state), 14,000-foot Mount Evans, wildlife viewings and the famous Indian Springs mineral springs resort — perfect for a relaxing soak after your zip-lining adventure — make Idaho Springs a great day trip for people living near or traveling through Denver.

Consider adding whitewater rafting with us while you’re here! We offer Raft & Zip packages that allow you to create a day of fun-filled diversion from your Denver home base. Zip in the morning on our 3,000-foot, five-tower course where you’ll zoom over Clear Creek three times. Then switch up your gear and paddle through the rapids below.
