About Zip Adventures
Zip Adventures operates a guided zipline tour through a private old-growth forest near Vail, Colorado, offering one of the most unique aerial experiences in the Rocky Mountains. The course features six ziplines of varying lengths, a suspension bridge that sways high above the forest floor, and elevated platforms nestled among ancient trees, creating an adventure that combines thrills with the serene beauty of an undisturbed mountain ecosystem.
The course is designed to be accessible to a wide range of participants, with guides assisting at every platform and providing thorough safety instruction before the first launch. No prior experience is needed, and the progression from shorter, lower ziplines to longer, faster ones helps build confidence naturally throughout the tour. The old-growth forest setting adds an educational dimension, as guides point out century-old Douglas fir and blue spruce trees, explain the ecology of the forest, and identify wildlife that makes its home in the canopy.
What sets Zip Adventures apart from other zipline operations is the quality of the natural setting. Rather than a constructed course on cleared land, riders soar through a living forest with minimal environmental disturbance, which creates a feeling of flying through the wilderness rather than over it. The experience is suitable for families, couples, and corporate groups, and the proximity to Vail and Beaver Creek makes it an easy half-day addition to any mountain vacation.
