This is an absolute MUST when visiting this area!! We made the 3-hour trip while visiting my son at FE Warren AFB. We had an absolute blast! The staff here was awesome! We bought the train & zipline package. Their photographer caught some priceless memories. It was definitely worth the money and the drive!

As a special Birthday treat for my wife, I booked the full package including the train ride from Leadville at the very top of the mountain, the zip liners were met by the fantastic staff of guides and we rode a series of thrilling zip lines to the base at the bottom of the valley. Worth every penny. Highly recommended.

We loved our first time zip lining at the Top of the Rockies! The scenery was beautiful. The zip line was safe and so much fun. I highly recommend. The guides were great and funny. My 7yo loved it and was eager to be the first to jump off the platform and zip down the line. We did the 10:30 tour and soared over the Leadville train as people waved to us from below. Amazing. I recommend buying the pictures; the photographer snapped about 60 action shots of our family. Well worth the money. Plan to tip the guides; they deserve the extra cash.
