Ziplining is nearing the end for the 2018 season, so why not take the family on a zipline extravaganza near Denver! It is a great way to officially end the summer, before the winter ski and snowboard season begins. Not sure where to go? Here are a few places near or around the Denver area that offer great ziplines that the whole family will enjoy.
Denver Adventure Tours

Denver Adventure Tours offers the longest and fastest zipline with speeds up to 60 mph. You have a couple of options when you zip here. You can do the traditional zip of 6-lines, or a 4-line zipline tour in less than 2 hours. For those of you that want the ultimate trip, they offer an 8-line zipline tour which consists of the 6-line tour and you will ride the 2 longest and the 2 fastest lines twice. An extra plus is that these trips can be combined with the “zip and sip” where you can taste Colorado micro brews at their new door pub Colorado’s Best Beers.
