About

The best of both worlds—a morning of rafting Colorado’s favorite whitewater and an afternoon of Ziplining at the top of the world! Enjoy two fun, quintessential Colorado activities in one easy, incredible day. Best of all? It’s all planned by us. All you have to do is show up.

Zip and Raft the Arkansas River starts at Top of the Rockies Zip Line located between Frisco and Leadville near the summit of Fremont Pass. Fly side by side, experiencing different elements of speed, distance off the ground, and terrain on five separate zip line sections. Soar among alpine forest at elevations greater than 11,000 feet while soaking in the spectacular views of Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive, Colorado’s tallest fourteeners.

Next, you’ll continue your drive down Hwy 91 and into the Arkansas River Valley to the Arkansas River Outpost for our 1/2 Day Browns Canyon National Monument Half Day raft trip—one of the world’s most popular whitewater rafting adventures!

Our Browns Canyon National Monument Half Day raft trip is great for families and individuals alike. This whitewater classic offers unbelievable Rocky Mountain scenery, class III rapids, and calm water perfect for a relaxing float after your thrilling day. After your rafting experience the shuttle will bring you back to the Arkansas River Outpost – a beautiful drive below several towering 14,000-foot peaks.

Cool fact: The longest zip line in the world is located in Peru and is 6,990 feet (1.3 miles) long. It’s called The Eye of the Jaguar and can reach speeds of 68 miles per hour.
