When you think of outdoor adventure excursions like ziplining high above the trees at break-neck speeds, the first thing that may come to mind for some people is fear. It's a natural response. It's not normal to be strapped to a harness and hooked to a wire that is hanging between two poles high above the trees. It's stepping further outside that box of comfort to be pushed off a ledge to fly hanging from said wire toward the other side. That is pure adrenaline and exciting adventure.

Adventure. It's, exactly why ziplining at Denver Adventures & Zipline Tours in Conifer is something you should try. It's because it isn't something you do every day.

The experience begins as guests are guided through the fitting of equipment with attention, expertise and even a bit of humor. After a quick scenic hike to the mountain top just a few miles away, riders are given instruction and equipment is expertly tested with a short ride on a test/training line.
