Glenwood Canyon Zipline Adventures

My family and I absolutely LOVE this place and this company. We went back to the resort for the second time last month and had a blast! The first time we went, the instructions crew helped us through every step and ensured our safety the whole way. The second time was even better since we were more familiar with the course. They’re all so enthusiastic about their job and it makes you want to zipline all the time. I’ll definitely be back next summer for round 3!!!

This was a very lame zip line ride (especially compared to the AWESOME zip Iine tour in Vail) I had to put on nasty sweaty gloves and a sweaty helmet! Had to learn how to slow yourself down in a stupid training «zip school»! Other zip lines rides will catch you! Sooo horrible! I would give this place ZERO stars if I could!

We had a great time, family of 5 with kids. Yes they charge for photos but I could never get such great pictures and glad I could focus on the adventure and not taking photos. Do the full adventure course, well worth it. Bar and grill right next to course, great way to end the day!

Several friends and myself purchased a groupon for the combo zipline and rafting adventure. The groupon cost something like $ 80 for what would have normally been $ 160.
We arrived for a 2pm zipline adventure and 4pm rafting.
First, the checkin at the main lodge was by a fairly unfriendly lady that didn’t seem to like her job very much.
The staff running the zipline were an interesting bunch. They took a while to warm up to and also kind of seemed bored with their job initially.
The Zipline experience itself was great! We did the double zipline which was awesome and I highly recommend it.
We were sternly told and there were visible signs that photography is not permitted. Very simply, the reason is so that their photographer can take your photo and sell it to you for like $ 40 for the zipline cd. To be honest, I hate this kind of nickel and dime deal.
The rafting was great! We did the double shonone and had a great amount of fun. You are forced to wear a helmet and the guide is forced to recite a long list of sellnig points and safety warnings that a guest has to check off on a board. My girlfriend is an ex-​rafting guide and informs me that practices like this are signs of a company that has liability issues.
Finally, the camping ground at the place is right next the river and overall a really beautiful spot. The downside — Its across the the river from a railroad line and almost every 2 hours throughout the night, freight trains will come down the track creating a horrific screeching and rambling that will wake up the dead.
Overall, I recommend the zipline and rafting, but not the camping. I also recommend it for $ 80, but not for $ 160. Its just sad that they feel they need to charge you for every little thing.
