A Colorado Adventure Vacation

Just the word Colorado conjures up thoughts of adventure. There was a time when Colorado was the wild west and that spirit stays alive today throughout Colorado's cities and resorts. Attractions all over Colorado provide thrills and excitement for all who choose to find them. When you're in Colorado, be prepared to feel the crisp and clean mountain air smack your face as you ski or snowboard at one of Colorado's 26 ski areas. At the Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, you can be thrown out over the edge of the Royal Gorge canyon at speeds over 50mph and 1200 feet above the Arkansas River only to be sucked back to land as you ride the world's highest Skycoaster.

Need more? The Canyon Flyer at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park is the United State's first alpine coaster. Individual cars race 3400 ft. through trees and down mountainsides. But that's not all. Colorado has long been known as a whitewater rafting paradise. In late April and early May, Colorado's rivers swell with water from the mountain snow melt peaking in June lasting through the summer. Raft trips vary from the wild (Clear Creek, Royal Gorge and Brown's Canyon) to the mild (Colorado River & Big Horn Sheep Canyon). It's best to let a guide take you through the Colorado rapids and Colorado has a number of certified and licensed rafting companies. Not enough for you yet? We've selected some other thrilling and exciting Colorado adventures below. Just click to learn more about any of them and get ready to feel the crisp mountain air smack your face.

Glenwood Canyon Zipline Adventures
888-4 ZIP-FUN
Our zipline consists of a set of cables stretching over 350 feet between towers across the Colorado River. Once you're geared up in a climbing harness, helmet and gloves, you'll climb the launch tower, clip into a double wheel pulley and step off! The force of gravity will zip you down the cable, high above the river, to the landing platform on the other side. A zip back across the canyon on a second set of cables completes the exciting round-trip zip.
