Colorado Ziplines

Summit County

Summit County is one of the most scenic counties in Colorado. To many, Summit County is Colorado’s high country, home to four world-class ski resorts and some of the most-visited mountain peaks in Colorado.

Though Summit County’s reputation was made by its world-class ski mountains — Arapahoe Basin, Copper, Keystone, Breckenridge and Vail are just minutes away — its warm-weather outdoor activities are just as fabulous. Visit for hiking, biking, fly fishing, white water rafting and don’t miss the thrill of zip-lining through the pines.

Summit County, Colorado is close to one of the state’s highest and longest zipline courses!

Sumit County ColoradoSimply hop on I-70 from anywhere in Summit County and you’re less than an hour away from one of Colorado’s most exciting new zip-line courses. Take the highway east (toward Denver) to Exit 240 at the little mining town of Idaho Springs. You’ll see our tall, wooden zip-line launch towers — there are 5 in all! — before you even get to the exit. Our base camp offices are located right inside the historic Argo Gold Mine & Mill. Stick around awhile in this area and you’ll start to feel what it was like back in the gold rush days of Colorado.
While you’re here, feed your need for whitewater rafting thrills by taking a paddling trip down Clear Creek. We offer Raft & Zip combo trips that let you plan an entire day of fun — all just a short drive from Summit County.
