The tour guides, James and Josh were a lot of fun and made the experience much more enjoyable. We will come back again once they have completed their new features and add some bigger, faster zip lines. Thanks again guys! read less

And the entry and mid level courses were challenging enough to keep our younger teens satisfied as well. Our entire family had a great time, kudos to Jared for his focus on safety and enjoyment. He paired them well and kept all of our groups (there was another family of three) moving through the obstacles with great support. Thanks Jared! A very good enjoyable experience. More read less

I've been shot at, punched, had my squad car rammed by badguys, and kicked more than a few doors when I knew that someone was probably hunkered behind them waiting for me with a gun.

I say all that to say this: I don't really consider myself a pansy, but I fu**ing LOATHE heights. I mean, nauseous on a stepladder, let's just put the Christmas lights along the sidewalk, who cares if it's raining in the living room because the Legion of Boom riding a herd of wild unicorns couldn't drag my ass onto the roof DETEST heights.

So of course, when my wife said she wanted to go ziplining while we were in Colorado, I had a good cry and then turned on the Google machine.

Captain Zipline popped up, I booked us, and proceeded to drive to what I was sure would be a shrieking, tear-filled, 7-second vertical canyon tour involving gravity, a sudden stop, and my two minutes of fame on CNN as rescue teams were being filmed searching for my molars on the desert floor.

I was so wrong.

We had to do a last-minute reschedule, moving from an afternoon tour to the morning one. Easy and trouble free. They were great about it. When we arrived, after I finished applying sunscreen and Rolaids, we met our two guides, Josh and Rob. GREAT guys--highly competent, super kind, and very good at putting everyone at ease.

So, off we went. The sign in process was blessedly brief, the outfitting and instruction portion was easy to follow and informative, and then it was go-time. My stomach and armpits were all like "we're totally walking back," but my feet and ego were like "Your wife already went. Stop. Embarrassing. Us."

Next thing I knew, I was 200 feet above the canyon floor on a freaking cable, cruising through the sky like Iron Man. Well--okay--if Iron Man was trying really hard not to let out a little bit of pee. But the heights thing? ZERO issues. It was awesome, and I was in. After the third run, I was trying to get up front at the stations, and probably being obnoxious to both our guides. It's what I do, okay? Anyway, I was having a blast.

The entire tour was just over two hours, and well worth the 79 bucks. The scenery and location are both gorgeous, as is the drive in. You get six trips over the canyons, and the speed and views are very cool. The staff were fantastic, and the entire operation was very professional and extremely safety-conscious. The equipment looked to be in perfect condition, and everything appeared to be highly controlled, structured, and well-organized.

All in all, an excellent choice if you're looking for a family adventure. I'd recommend Captain Zipline to anyone, even my fellow heights sissies. I know you're out there, brothers and sisters. Low five. Low, low five. I still hate heights, but I would return to Captain Zipline in a heartbeat.

PS Don't tell my wife I wrote this review. She still thinks I'm a little traumatized. Gonna run with that for a while. Planning on having a pretend falling dream in a couple days. Wish me luck.

PPS If you go, TIP YOUR GUIDES. They totally deserve it.

Thanks for a great visit, guys. My wife and I had a wonderful time. read less

It didn't take long to get the hang of clipping in and out of the safety lines on the aerial course thanks to our excellent guides Preston and Brandon. They helped us feel safe and comfortable so we could concentrate on having fun! The course has multiple trails with various difficulty levels, so there was something for everyone. The kids (13 and 11) absolutely loved it, and quickly progressed to the more advanced courses.

After the aerial course, we went into Salida for a delicious lunch at Amicas Pizza, then returned for the zipline tour. After a training session where Preston and Brandon taught us how to steer and brake on the zipline, we were ready fly over the canyon! Once again, the safety equipment and especially our guides' encouragement gave us the confidence to take the leap, They were also very knowledgeable about the beautiful canyon and the geology of Colorado, and helped us appreciate the amazing views from the ziplines even more! They did a fabulous job! It was over too soon, and we can't wait to go back again! read less

Great time, funny guys and will be back to zipline again when it snows.
