We booked through…read morethe rafting company so we weren't familiar with Top of the Rockies before this, but I would highly recommend them for a zip line tour if you're visiting CO. The your started with a ride up the mountain in an old army truck (my least favorite part is the tour). From there we took 6 zip lines back down to the bottom of the mountain. The views are stunning, the guides do a great job of keeping things moving, and making sure everyone enjoys the trip. There must be a book or class or something that sets up guides with all the bad jokes you hear during a tour -- we heard more than a few twice between rafting and the zip line, and honestly as bad as the jokes are that was one of my favorite parts of any type of tour like this. One other thing we appreciated - the tour company photographer is along for the first couple of lines. Of course, they do this so you buy a package of photos at the end of the tour, but I have to say the pictures we got were top notch - she got a few scenery pics, and several of the three of us in our group. They weren't just pictures of us hanging on a wire above the ground - some are from the platforms before we took off and she especially got some nice ones of our 11 year old. After being couped up for a year and a half during the pandemic, we wanted a trip that helped make some great memories and the pics we got were well worth what they cost.

Had an amazing time with Zach, Leeland, and Adrian (i think that was his name i forgot I'm so…read moresorry!) ! They had all the best dad jokes and made the experience a great time. The views were SPECTACULAR! I can't wait to come back when is nice out!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!…read more One of the things I love most about most ski resorts, is that they turn into summer playgrounds full of so many outdoor activities! Enter Crested Butte, where they're down (or rather "up" in this case) for ziplining summer or winter! High above the ski slopes you can enjoy ziplining from 5 stations...each offering a fun and exhilarating experience. With its towering platforms, wooden bridges and lines running from 120 to 400 feet in length...how can you not have fun?!!! Plus, our tour guides rocked! They were knowledgeable, professional and overall super cool dudes! Tours start at $63 and last about 1-1/2 - 2 hours. So what are you waiting for? Be happy outside!

WOW what a time. My…read morefriend and I signed up with this company to take us on a 2 day extreme class IV/V Overnight rafting trip on the Arkansas river. We both have experience with this company from rafting the Upper Salt River in AZ. Unfortunately the water levels didn't cooperate but, the rafting company modified the itinerary to give us the best possible adventure possible. Day upper upper Browns Canyon which led to class I've and the use of duckies. Operation am not a fan but, half of our group loved them. We were then driven 1.5 hours away for our dinner and tent camping (3 miles from our put in). Ryan and Eric our guides cooked a great meal and catered to the group. We awakened to a mist and heavy fog, which we were served pancakes and sausages for a warm breakfast, and let's not forget hot coffee. We then departed at 8:30 for our trip down the Royal Gorge were we hit class in rapids, lots of class 3s, great geology, good company, lots of fun and a great experience. Ryan our lead guide and Eric did a great job for 2 days of providing us a great experience and memories. You have many choices but from a personal experience this is the best company to deal with. We are already planning next year's multi day trip.

We "dodged a bullet" with this company. They called us less than an hour before our trip to cancel,…read morenot because of dangerous conditions, but because another group canceled, and they didn't want to take 3 of us out. No integrity and no remorse for ruining our trip. Fast forward, we found an amazing company that agreed to work us in the same day and, after speaking to several people in the area, it is well known that Wilderness Aware Rafting has less experienced guides and get stuck in the river holding up "traffic" most days. Literally no one locally has anything nice to say. In hindsight, I am glad we didn't go with them.

This experience was a lot of fun. There are five ziplines, but you do one of them twice, so in all…read moreyou get six zips. The guides were fantastic. They were helpful, funny, and told great stories. They made everyone feel secure. At one point, you have to do a little bit of serious hiking to get to one of the lines. The elevation affects people differently and decent hiking shoes isn't a bad idea. You are basically ziplining in a gorgeous forest. The views are incredible. We saw deer and we heard that sometimes you can see moose (meese? mooses?). There is one negative: I have done ziplines in many places and this outfit was the only one which "requires" you to bring water. Most people end up buying this bag of cold water and a carabiner for 4 bucks when you check in. You can bring your own water bottle but who wants to zip with a giant water bottle strapped to you? They even had a jug of water available at one or more of the stops. Call it like it is: this is just a way for them to get another 4 bucks from each customer. Also, the website suggests you should not bring your phone. In fact, you can bring your phone but it is obviously your responsibility if you lose or damage it. (One person who ziplined with us actually did drop his phone, accidentally, while ziplining, but one of the awesome guides found it. Two miracles occurred that day: one, the guide found the phone in a forest and, two, the phone was barely scratched.) I wish I had brought my phone because the views were awesome. If you like, you can have some craft beer afterward in the little brewery connected to the zipline spot. We had other plans but the sharp-looking brewery looked very inviting. Highly recommended. This was a lot of fun and I would definitely do it again.

All in all a good zipline experience. Some good routes with high speed and great scenery. I…read morereally liked the long hop which was the 5th one I think. The group size seemed a little too big though. We had some pretty long waits at some of the platforms. At the later stages of the tour, the group merged with another and it seemed like there were at least 20 people waiting in line. BTW, I didn't like the heavy handed pitch to buy expensive water bottles and the time of registration either. Code: 4EB53B

It kept the kids engaged and entertained which in the digital age is priceless. They provide all equipment. They have music playing.

It's definitely a large operation. Check in for us involved a 100 people or so. But they've got it down. Don't plan to bring much/anything with you honestly. You can choose wet suits, dry jackets etc... It was 75 degrees in July here so our family split between wet suits and dry jackets. The latter was the better choice. You take a 30 minute school bus ride and some quick safety instructions (thanks Erico!) And then get assigned to your boat. Ours included 8 of us and a guide. Honestly that was too much but okay. Our guide was Tristan who was fantastic. Funny and engaging with fun facts along the way. But more importantly you could tell he was taking safety seriously. We did the browns canyon ride and it was a good mix of slightly challenging for the kids and fun for the adults. All in all it was a great way to spend half a day!

Guides: Tim & Colleen *We went in August*…read more - W H A T T O E X P E C T - We booked ahead of time, online, for the "Cliffside Zipline Half Day" in Idaho Springs. They have multiple locations and have similar and different activities that you can do at each location. When we arrived we walked in through the building on the right (it looks like a store), and checked in. After checking in, we had to wait for a bit until our guides were ready. Once they were, we went into the building to the left and received our gear. For the ziplining portion, our equipment was a harness and a helmet. *Each of the helmets has cute and/or funny names, definitely spend the time and look through the names. For example: They have an adult one that says: Potato and a child one that says: Little Tater Once we were all put on our equipment, our guides, Tim & Colleen, double-checked to make sure we each had our equipment on correctly and securely. Snug, but not too snug. After checking our equipment, Tim started to read a disclaimer and some rules to follow while we were up on the zipline. Heads up: - NOTHING IN YOUR POCKETS IS SAFE - If you have any glasses or hats, leave them in your car. Wear contacts if you have to, or put the little ropes that can be connected to your glasses to catch them in case they fall off your face. - There is a wooden board with hooks to hang your car keys. They assured us that hanging the keys there are safe. There is only one road, and anyone that tries to steal a vehicle won't get very far down the one road before a police officer stops them. :) You are ziplining on the cliffside of the mountain. If you do not have pockets that zip/button closed, don't put anything in them. If anything falls down the cliff, no one is going to go and get it. It's too dangerous. Personally, I had prepared and worn my contacts - but I will probably wear glasses with the ropes next time. We went in August, and it was still chilly in the mountains. Some of the ziplines go pretty fast, so my eyes would water. I had a jacket with zipper pockets, so I was the designated picture taker in my group. I was able to keep my phone safe by putting it in my zipper pocket. After going through safety and the disclaimer, we jumped onto the bed of a truck, clipped ourselves in, and road all the way up to the mountain. After you get off the truck, there is a narrow trail you have to take to get to the first platform. It is a dirt trail, and it's on the side of the mountain. Important... don't be stupid. :) I'm personally terrified of falling from tall heights, so I had to take my time and not look down to my right. It was fine, it wasn't dangerous. It's just one of my greatest fears. (Hence facing them by ziplining!) - E X P E R I E N C E - If you can request two guides... Request Tim & Colleen! It is very apparent how much they love their job. Tim was the main guide, he has been doing this job for a very long time. They both made the whole experience so much fun. Their excitement, personalities, and overall energy made this a very unique and memorable experience. They were silly and fun, while still making sure we all were and felt safe. We are hoping to come back and be able to ask for both of them again. :) - P A R K I N G - They have plenty of parking spaces in their lot, the parking is a bit rough though - so be careful when driving in and out of the parking lot. - O V E R A L L - We all had a great experience, Colleen & Tim We had 5 people in our group, two of us had ziplined before, and three of us were doing it for the first time. It was an absolutely amazing time and I can't wait to do it again.

She somehow managed to keep my husband and me alive while making us laugh the entire trip. She gave great instructions, knew exactly when to hype us up, and somehow stayed calm even when we... spectacularly flipped the raft. Yes, we went completely over, and honestly?

She got us back together quickly and made sure we were safe while still making the whole experience unforgettable.
