Castle Rock: Zip Line Tour with 10 Lines & Small Groups

Summary

Zip across Colorado’s wild spaces with local guides and laughter

What’s the experience like?

I almost missed the first safety talk because I was still fighting with my helmet strap — you’d think after years of bike rides I’d have it down, but nope. Our guide, Jamie, just grinned and helped me out, no judgment. The group was only six of us, so it felt more like a bunch of friends than a tour. Right away you could smell the pine needles in the air and hear this low hum from the wind up in Castle Rock. I didn’t expect to feel nervous until I was actually standing on the first platform, looking out over what looked like half of Colorado.

The first zip line — honestly, I screamed. Not even embarrassed about it. It’s fast but not scary once you’re moving; there’s this moment where your stomach drops and then it’s just wind and sky and you can see for miles over those 320 acres. Jamie kept telling stories about local wildlife (apparently there are foxes that sometimes watch people fly by — didn’t see any but I liked imagining it). Between lines we hiked short trails through scratchy grass and rocks, which gave me time to catch my breath and laugh at myself for almost tripping over my own harness. The sun kept shifting behind clouds so sometimes everything looked washed out silver, then suddenly bright again.

By the last couple zips, everyone was cheering each other on — even Brian, who said he hated heights at breakfast, was grinning like a kid by the end. There was this one moment where we all just stood quietly before launching off the longest line (it’s nearly half a mile), listening to nothing but wind and someone’s nervous giggle. I still think about that view sometimes when I’m stuck in traffic back home. So yeah, if you’re anywhere near Denver and want a real day trip zip line tour with guides who actually care if you’re having fun (and don’t mind if you mess up your helmet), this is it.
