AVA Cliffside Zipline

Tim and Fionn were great. You can tell Tim loves his job and he’s great at it! Funny, explained things well and set us up for a great time. Our group of 8 had an amazing experience and I’d totally recommend them. We felt safe, well-prepared and consider the zip lining one of our favorite activities of our trip. Two thumbs up!!

Highly recommend this zipline spot for a few hours of adventure! Jeremiah and John Dodge made the trip a hell of a ride. They kept the trip entertaining and gave wonderful tips on how to stay in control, which lines to do tricks on, how to slow down safely, and when to speed up! The additional walking paths and bridges kept it unique as well.

The equipment is easy to get on, the staff helps with the harness. You also get gloves and a helmet. They make the helmets fun by adding names to each one. Our youngest (9 years old) had "Chicken Nugget" and our oldest had "Boomer"!

When you start the trip they give you a run down on the history and point out haunted buildings plus historical sites. It gets bumpy when you hit the mountain path so prepare to hold on! Patrick rocked it driving the truck and even had a fun scare at the end, spiked your adrenaline and gets you ready to hit the zipline!

If you use Apple Maps then make sure you put in the right address. Our map accidentally took us up the road too far and we had to circle back. The staff was amazing though and waited for us to arrive so we didn't miss the action!

I have never been zip lining and was pretty scared- my family and I did the package deal with AVA and completed the zip lining and the rafting, and it was amazing!!! All of our guides : John Dodge, Maverick and Austin were incredible and made our experience fun and exhilarating. I felt that my family was safe and that they were there if we needed help! Would highly recommend and will be coming back again for the next level up!!

WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC, AWESOME, AND THRILLING EXPERIENCE!!!! Thank you Sara with no H & Maverick with a H!! Phenomenal instructors!! From the moment we began the adventure, it was nothing but good vibes & thrills! Thank you to the driver, some sick 4 wheeling! This is in fact not your Zipline off the highway, the Ziplines are discreetly located on the mountain side making it feel inclusive! You get 6 unique Zipline rides! Thank you to the instructors & everybody for keeping us safe & making a great trip! My partner didn’t want to carry on after Zipline 2; however Sara hiked out with her and ensured she felt comfortable and safe. All and all my partner still had a blast! Thank you to the photographer, these shots came out great, definitely recommend them! The front desk / check in peeps were super chill & welcoming! Michelin star earned, highly recommend visiting this place!

Amazing experience!! Toast & Bennet were the best hands down! They truly help as far as safely goes. Loved that they were both so down to earth & eased this trip for us since we got to experience snow for the first time as well. 👏🫶

We had so much fun with Cohen and Kail. They were very thorough and so much fun! They eased our minds while making sure we had a good time! They’re awesome!!! I would come back just for them.

Shout out to Tyler & Lily for their guidance this as past weekend on our Rock Climbing experience! Our experience was nothing short of fantastic. As first time climbers, this was the perfect course for us and we look forward to doing another AVA rock climbing experience at a different location in the future!

Sara and Finn were great guides for our zip lining! Super helpful with all their tips and kept it fun with their jokes and conversations. Very reassuring if you’re unsure about a run. We started at 5 pm got fitted for gear and spent about 2 hours zip lining. You go in a group of 10 and it was nice getting to know the other visitors. Would recommend! They even have a plank ladder as part of the course and ending zipline is over the creek which was beautiful

My first time zip lining and the experience was beyond amazing. I am afraid of heights but Goose and Bennen made the experience worth doing it again in the future! Thank you so much, I’ll never forget this experience.

My boys and I went ziplining for the first time in Idaho Springs. Our guides were Tegahn and Steven. They were funny, made sure we having a good time, and most importantly, they made sure everyone was safe. Thank you for giving me and my boys unforgettable memories of our experience today.

AMAZING! SUPER SAFE My sister (9), me (20) and my cousin (14) all did the zipline together. We were all scared but Sara and Kale our fantastic instructors were super supportive and kind even with our countless mistakes. The drive up is super bumpy and my sisters favorite part! Unfortunately my sister did get too scared to continue after the first line but Sara was kind enough to safely walk her back to the truck and Kale was super kind and entertaining while she was gone. Awesome duo! There is a portion where you race a partner and you pull yourself with the line onto the platform but the harness golds up most of your weight and its only 1/3 you pull. Pictures are for sale at the end and there are cute shirts in the shop. Overall great thrill took up about 2 hours and 15 minutes to complete the course.

Awesome!!! Our guides were Tim & Jon! We were the 9’ers! Tim is an energetic & safety conscious guide who is filled with energy & passion & Jon aka Dodge is engaging & knowledgeable! Both guides made us comfortable & prepped us for each run! My Mom in Law was scared after the first run, Tim convinced her to continue & he rode tandem with her the rest of the way. An amazing experience!! Do It!

My family had a lot of fun on the zip line course today. Tim and Cohen did a great job with the entire group. They were very informative, thorough, and patient with all the different zip liners. It was a great way to spend the day.

20 out of 10 recommend this if you’re in the Denver area! The zip line itself was a ton of fun, but what really made this experience outstanding was our guides, Toast and Flip Flop. This duo (and our group - shout out to these fun strangers) kept us laughing and entertained the entire time. Some of us were nervous for the lines, but these two made us feel safe and secure. Really hope we can come back here to experience rafting with them!

Tour guides were great (Sara and Maverick- zip lining) and (Tanner- rafting) the jokes were good and they were very knowledgeable. After learning the hand placements for ziplining it was a great experience. Rafting was a blast, I had a good time.

I am 61 and this is the most fun I've ever had outside! Such a great experience!

Amazing ziplines! Tim and Jon were dope! Their energy was contagious and made the rest of my day feel great. Made us feel comfortable and safe. Must do if you’re looking for something fun to do in Colorado.

My son and I did the starlight zipline. Austin and Kenzie were amazing and made the trip so much fun! The gal working the shop and drove the truck was awesome too. It was an experience we'll never forget.

The zip lines were amazing! My husband and I are both TERRIFIED of heights but Tyler & Taylor did an amazing job of making us feel safe and calm. They were entertaining, down to earth, and overall the best guides I could’ve hoped for. We will absolutely be back to explore the other experiences they offer!

This is probably the best outfitter in the area. They have everything all at one place. You can plan a multiple activities in one day and their prices are pretty fair for groups. The whitewater rafting was amazing and the zip line course was excellent
