Another way to experience a river in Colorado: ride a zipline 350 feet across the river at Glenwood Canyon Zipline Adventures, and then ride another zipline back again.

All you need is the nerve to step off the platform: no skills required, and kids are welcome. A minimum height of 48 inches is reqiured, and all kids must be accompanied by a participating adult.

Glenwood Canyon Zipline Adventures also offers a rope course, good food you can enjoy overlooking the river, rafting outings, and cabins for rent.
