zipline at Wolcott Colorado My friend invited me to spend a Saturday morning ziplining, so I grabbed my daughter and we headed out to 4 Eagle Ranch. We arrived a bit early, which gave us time to wander around and check out the horses, mini goats, and donkeys. The ranch is surrounded by mountains, offering absolutely stunning views.

Before gearing up, we played a little cornhole and met a really sweet couple who ended up joining our group. The staff at Zip Adventures was incredibly friendly and helpful—they got us suited up and ready to go in no time. Our guides, Dustin and Simon, were fantastic—super personable and funny. We shared plenty of laughs on the ride down to the canyon.

I've been ziplining before, but never over a canyon, so I had some nerves at first. But those quickly disappeared thanks to the amazing support and encouragement from the Zip Adventures team. The whole experience was a blast! There were a few fun challenges along the way, and the guides gave us tips to make the adventure even more memorable.

If you're looking for something different from the usual summer hiking or biking and want to soak in some beautiful views while having a ton of fun, this is an absolute must-do!

Great social distancing activity What an awesome experience! We’ll definitely be back! Myself and a group of friends had a blast and some of us were even able to put our fears aside! During these times especially, it was nice to be able to get out and enjoy the outdoors safely with a group of friends. Yeah, you can go out on a hike or go fishing but zipping across a canyon was the rush I wanted. The owners have done an amazing job ensuring everyone has not only the best time out there but are safe and healthy while doing it! Our guides Jimmy and Matt were great and kept us laughing or jumping the entire time. The stations throughout the course had enough room for friends to keep safe distance. Matt and Jim were very knowledgeable on the local area and actually learn something new myself even though I’ve lived in the area for years. My First zip certainly won’t be the last so will be back soon! Thanks again for an awesome experience during these crazy times!

Must do in the Vail Valley What an incredible fun experience with our coworkers! From the Bunny Hill to the zip through the canyon at the end was one of our best staff activities we have ever done.
We felt completely comfortable, safe and taken care of by the awesome staff.
Lots of hooting, hollering and laughing the entire time.
I will be recommending this to everyone, both here locally and visitors.

Thank you to the entire team at Zip Adventures for such a memorable afternoon :) !!!

Gorgeous evening zip line tour! Our family of 5 (3 kids 14, 17 & 19) loved this zipline experience! We are not big zipliners and my husband is afraid of heights, but our guides Kannon and Jimmy were absolutely wonderful and explained all safety measures, how to do everything, and they were there every step of the way to hook and unhook us. We just had fun! I was a nervous mom, but our guides helped calm me and made it super enjoyable. I would definitely do it again! The canyon is beautiful, especially in the evening, and I would recommend this experience to anyone.

The absolute best!!! Kannon and Austin were the best guides we have ever had for a zip-lining trip. The course is incredible, and even the rustic wine tasting after was outstanding. Thank you for a great experience!

Amazing fun!!! For our first non-beach summer vacation, the family picked Colorado, and we chose to stay in Avon. When looking for activities, we saw the Zip Adventures of Vail, and signed up. We had one of the most fun times we’ve ever experienced together, with Kannon and Jimmy as our guides. We got into the swing of things pretty quickly, and even did the canyon plunge, in addition to the six ziplines. I can’t even express how much fun it was!!! I know that we will definitely do it again when we come back!!!

You must try the Zip Line! Highly recommend Zip Adventures of Vail. We are from Upstate NY visiting our daughter who recently moved to Colorado. If you are ever in town its a must. We had a great time. Our guides were the best! Shane and Cannon. So helpful, fun and funny. Made us feel at ease and safe. First time at 55 years old!

Zip Adventures near Avon A quick trip up I70 to 131 brought us to Zip Adventures. We pulled into 4 Eagle Ranch a few minutes ahead of time and I'm glad we did. After checking in we headed over to Vines At Vail for some wine tasting (liquid courage) before the zip lining.

The zip lining brought us across a gorge 6 times with each line being a little longer and a little faster. It's a smart set up so you can gain confidence with each zip across the gorge. The team that guided us was well trained, experienced and explained how to handle ourselves before each zip line.

There is a fair amount of hiking between each zip line but I was able to handle it even though I consider myself out of shape. Overall a very fun and worthwhile Zip Adventure. More

Family Fun My wife, son, my son’s friend, and I really enjoyed our zip line adventure with Brody and Chris. They made sure we felt safe and had fun. My son and his friend, both 16, really enjoyed themselves — and that says a lot, trust me. They even tried going upside down a few times (I wasn’t as brave). I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

Excellent Staff, Great Views, and FUN surprises Great Views and Best Staff! Shane and Q made this experience more than just a memory for us. The jokes, service, and genuine conversations shared by them (on top of the views) is the reason I will be bragging about this adventure. Riding in a Pinzgauer and popsicles overlooking the canyon were icing on the cake! …

Great October visit to Alkali Canyon! Matt & CJ run a great outfit, and Simon & Dustin showed-us a wonderful time on the course! We felt safe while having a thrilling time. We’ve done a lot of ziplining in many different places, and this one is the best in many ways.

Lots of fun. Cool location. It took some convincing to get my husband to go, but our 18 yo and I were able to win him over. After the first zip line he was good. It was just that initial step off. Beautiful scenery while you weave back and forth over the canyon. I even did the free fall, which was only a split second of free fall and then similar to a rock wall rappel. Just enough scare for someone who is afraid of falling. Good guides and overall lots of fun.
