Prior to entering the Canyon Challenge Course, guests are fitted with gear, given a safety briefing and instructions, and then off they go! Guests begin on easy courses and graduate to more challenging routes. Once a course is completed, guests can proceed to more challenging courses. The Canyon Aerial Course was designed and built by Swiss Alpine engineers to industry standards, including those of the Association for Challenge Course Technology (ACCT) as well as the specifications and safety standards of the state of Colorado. Participants are secured throughout their experience to the life safety systems using the Bornack Smart Safe Belay (SSB) lanyard system which prevents participants from detaching from the system during transfers from one element to the next while providing participants the freedom to choose their route and move at their own pace. Staff are positioned nearby to offer encouragement and assist if needed.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Canyon Challenge Course? I want to take my kids!

A: Yes, there are age requirements! Kids must be at least 7 years old to participate in the Canyon Challenge Course, but younger children can join in on the easier courses if they’re accompanied by an adult. It’s a great activity for families because they can all tackle the easier courses together before moving up to the more challenging ones. Just make sure everyone is comfortable with heights!

Q: What do you wear for the Canyon Challenge Course? Is it all outdoors?

A: Great question! Dress in comfortable, moisture-wicking clothing that you can move in easily. Closed-toe shoes are a must, and I’d recommend wearing something that can handle a bit of dirt and sweat since it’s all outside. Avoid loose clothing that could get caught in the equipment. Oh, and if it's chilly, a light layer that you can remove is smart, but layers are key!

Q: How do cancellations work if the weather is bad?

A: If the weather is really bad, they’ll let you know ahead of time and help you reschedule for another day. It's usually no hassle at all! Just keep an eye on the forecast and try to book on a day when the weather looks good. Definitely better to be safe than sorry, especially up in the mountains. Captain Zipline is really good about communication.

Just did the Canyon Challenge Course - what a thrill!

I finally took the plunge and did the Canyon Challenge Course in Buena Vista! It was such a rush! The easy routes were a great warm-up, but I loved pushing myself to tackle the more challenging ones. The views are incredible from up there! The staff were super friendly and encouraging. I went with my friends, and we had a blast. Anyone else done it? I’d love to hear your experiences!

Looking for gift ideas - is the Canyon Challenge Course worth it?

I’m considering gifting the Canyon Challenge Course experience to my sister for her birthday! She loves adventure but has never done anything like this before. Is it suitable for beginners? What was your experience like? Any tips for making it more special?
