Royal Gorge Zipline Tours

There's something primal about launching off a platform and soaring through thin air with nothing but a cable between you and the ground far below. Royal Gorge Zipline Tours has perfected this experience, creating a course that showcases the dramatic landscape while delivering genuine thrills. The main course features multiple zipline segments of varying lengths, allowing you to build confidence on shorter lines before tackling the longer runs. The longest line stretches over 1,000 feet, giving you ample time to look around and take in the Arkansas River valley spreading out below. On clear days, you can see for miles—the Wet Mountains to the south, the Sangre de Cristos in the distance, and the deep gash of the Royal Gorge itself. No experience is necessary. Guides provide thorough instruction on body positioning and braking, and they'll stay with you throughout the course. The dual-line setup means you can ride alongside a friend or family member, sharing the experience in real-time. The operation takes safety seriously—equipment is inspected daily, weight limits are strictly observed, and weather conditions are constantly monitored. If lightning threatens or winds pick up beyond safe levels, they'll postpone your tour rather than compromise safety. Most visitors find the experience both exhilarating and surprisingly peaceful. Once you're flying through the air, the world goes quiet except for the whisper of wind. It's a unique way to experience the landscape that defines Canon City.
