Colorado’s natural beauty is part of what makes our Durango mountain zip line so special. Visitors come from all over to breathe fresh mountain air and take in stunning views. Southwest Colorado’s San Juan Mountains are the southern most section of the Rocky Mountains. Colorado visitors often hike or drive above tree-line to see alpine ecosystems. This time of year, colorful wildflowers fill alpine meadows and you may even see a Bighorn Sheep sipping from a mountain stream! The San Juan Mountains contain 13 of Colorado’s famous 14er’s.

Those visiting our breathtaking mountains are often looking for adventure. Besides visiting the world’s largest zip line course, options include white-water rafting, jeeping, hiking, and rock climbing. White-water rafting on the Animas River can include rapids from Class 1 to 5. Class 1 may hardly rock the raft while Class 5 will A train carries zipliners to Soaring Tree Top Adventurescertainly soak everyone aboard. The Alpine Loop starts in Silverton and is an excellent way to let the mountains take your breath away without wheezing. All you’ll need is a jeep or ATV and a good attitude about bumping over treacherous mountain passes.
