Minimum weight is 40 lbs; maximum is 245 lbs, strictly enforced on a calibrated scale before the adventure begins.Is it for me?Most zipline courses in Colorado run shorter lines or lower speeds; this one stacks the two longest and two fastest ziplines in the state into a single 3-hour sequence, so the adrenaline and the views compound across the afternoon instead of leveling off.

Skip this if you need a full meal at any one restaurant or if you have a strict gluten-free or dairy-free diet, since the tastings are built around pasta, pizza, sausage, and ice cream.
