Ziplining Colorado Springs on Soaring Adventure’s Fins Course is an exciting ride over this canyon

Which Zip Line should I ride?

Our family chose the Fins Course* and we would ride these ziplines again in a heartbeat! Our kids were ages 11 through 18 at the time. Our 11 year old didn’t quite weigh the required 90 lbs, so he watched from below with a Broadmoor Outfitters kids counselor and took pictures and video for us.

Your Zipline course guides will also take pictures and video for you, and you can rent a GoPro to record your ride too!

When you’re done ziplining Colorado Springs, head up the Cog, then bike down Pikes Peak, or sign up for guided rock climbing, archery, and historic falconry experiences.

The Fins Course

(Intermediate-advanced) Includes 5 ziplines ranging from 250 to 1800 ft long, soaring over heights of 500 ft, 2 rope bridges, soaring at speeds of 45 mph, and a 180 ft assisted rappel. We have ridden a few ziplines before, so this was an easy choice for us.

Tripadvisor announced the Fins Course Scenic Zipline Tour was voted as a 2021 Travelers’ Choice: Top Overall Experiences in the WORLD. The Soaring ZipLine is ranked #10 of the 25 activities listed!

Our girls loved these ziplines - the best zips in Colorado!

The Woods Course

(Beginner) Includes 5 ziplines, ranging from 250 to 1500 ft long, heights of 150 ft, riding at speeds of 45 mph, and includes soaring over a waterfall. If you are looking for something a bit milder or have never ridden a zipline before, this is for you.

Combo Course

(Challenging) Includes 8 ziplines, ranging from 250 to 1800 ft long, soaring over heights of 500 ft, 25 min hike between courses, 2 rope bridges, and a 180 ft assisted rappel to finish the course.

Remember, these unique, uber-safe zipline adventures end right by Seven Falls so you can take time to explore these before heading back to The Broadmoor, where your car will be parked.

What MAKES these zip lines SO safe?

Riding these amazing ziplines in Colorado Springs is SO SAFE — probably safer than stepping out of the bathtub!

When the guides gear you up, you will wear a shoulder harness plus a waist harness. You are clipped into not one, but TWO cables on each zipline. Before you ride the ziplines, they run you through Ground School where they teach you a couple of hand signals and how to use a hand break (wearing thick gloves) - but know they have a secondary brake system as well.

Also, you take a practice ride just a few feet off the ground while following the guide’s hand signal to brake before landing on the platform. While ziplining, your very experienced guides clip you into each platform’s middle post before moving your trolley to the next zipline cables. You are safely clipped in AT ALL TIMES, unless you are standing on solid ground.

Know that you are eased into each zipline — you start off with shorter zips closer to the ground, and then each subsequent zip gets longer and higher off the ground. In a nutshell, ziplining with Broadmoor Outfitters is likely safer than hiking the path below and taking pictures.

The Fins Zip Line course takes you on two rope bridges and five zips over this canyon

What to wear / bring with you

  • Tennis shoes are best (must wear closed toe shoes)

  • Rain Jacket (just in case)

  • Water Bottle

  • Snack

  • Sunscreen

  • Sunglasses

  • Camera

  • They will lend you a small pouch to clip onto your harness to carry small items

More Broadmoor Outfitters Outdoor Activities

Here are a few more of the many guided tours that Broadmoor Outfitters provides. While they are based at The Broadmoor, you do not need to be a guest there to book these experiences.

We loved the Cog Up Bike Down, guided rock climbing, Wild West adventures, and learning about the sport of falconry. Broadmoor Outfitters is also planning on adding a few more adventures to their growing list of outdoor activities.

Cog Up Bike Down Pikes Peak

After you’ve gone ziplining in Colorado Springs, your next adrenaline rush should be the Cog Up Bike Down experience.

This is an unforgettable 13.8 mile downhill adventure from the summit of America’s most famous mountain, Pikes Peak all the way to Crystal Creek Reservoir.

Climb up to the top of Pikes Peak while enjoying the scenic views from the Cog Railway, then round out your adventure by biking down the winding scenic Pikes Peak Highway from the summit.

Rock climbing in colorado Srpings

Join experienced climbing guides and spend a half day rock climbing at some of Colorado Springs climbing hot spots. You may end up at Garden of the Gods, Red Rock Open Space, or in North Cheyenne Canyon, based on recent weather events and the skills of the climbers in your group. They will gear you up and you will be shown basic knots, safety and belay techniques as you tackle the Broadmoor’s Vertical Challenge.

We went rock climbing in North Cheyenne Canyon along a natural red rock wall called Tinsel Town. We hiked for a quick 8 minutes up a steep incline to reach the climbing spot. Belay on! We climbed up to heights of 60 feet before rappelling back down. The guides were excellent teachers, very patient and encouraging. We had climbed many man-made rock walls before, but had never climbed in outdoor spaces, so this was a whole new challenge for our family to “find our feet” and go for it!
