Denver: Epic Sky Trek Obstacle Course & All-Day Access

Summary

Freestanding sky course denver with 120 obstacles and flexible routes

You’ll test your nerve on Denver’s Epic Sky Trek as you climb through 120 aerial obstacles with a smart belay system and full gear included. Pick your own route at every turn—easy or wild—and rest on party decks between challenges. With support from local guides and plenty of laughs along the way, this is one adventure that sticks with you long after your feet touch ground again.

What’s the experience like?

“You sure you’re not scared of heights?” That’s what the guy at the harness station asked me, grinning like he already knew the answer. I laughed — half bravado, half nerves — and tried to look casual while he checked my helmet. The Epic Sky Trek in Denver isn’t something I’d normally sign up for, but my niece (age eight, already braver than me) was bouncing around, pointing at the ropes overhead. There were families everywhere — some kids looking tiny in their harnesses, parents pretending not to be nervous. The air smelled faintly of pine and sunscreen.

Our guide, Carla, explained how the smart belay system worked (honestly, it’s kind of genius — you never get stuck behind anyone), and then we just… went up. The first few steps felt wobbly; my hands were sweaty on the cables. My niece zipped ahead on the lower level’s swinging logs, laughing every time I hesitated. At one point a kid next to us shouted “Look Mom!” from about 30 feet up — his mom waved back but looked like she might faint. The sun kept shifting through the platforms and sometimes you’d catch a breeze that made everything sway just a little more than you wanted.

I didn’t expect to enjoy picking my own route so much — you can choose easy or tough obstacles as you go, which is good if your legs start shaking (mine did). There are over a hundred different challenges up there; some are wobbly bridges, others these weird nets that feel like climbing a giant spiderweb. Carla hung back but always kept an eye out if someone froze or needed help unclipping. She told us locals come here for birthday parties or just to blow off steam after work. I get why.

We took breaks on these party decks where people were sharing snacks and comparing bruises (in a friendly way). At one point I just sat back and watched — all these strangers balancing above ground together, cheering each other on without even knowing names. It sounds cheesy but it felt kind of good to be part of that for an afternoon. Still thinking about that last leap I almost didn’t take.
