Echo Canyon River Expeditions
- Canon City
- PLAN FOR: 3-6 HOURS
The folks at Echo Canyon say the 9:00 a.m. float is their favorite, and they ought to know. They’ve been guiding river trips for 40 years now. At 9:00, the morning chill is gone, and the heat of the day hasn’t hit yet. Whether this is your first time on the river, or you live in river shoes, isn’t that the kind of expertise you’re looking for?
Royal Gorge Bridge & Park
- Canon City
- PLAN FOR: 2-6 HOURS
The gorge takes all thrill seeking adventures up a notch or two. Fly 1200 feet over the Arkansas River, from one side of the gorge to the other on the Cloudscraper Zip Line. Or swing out over the gorge on the Skycoaster. Like a more active role in your adventure? The Via Ferrata climbing course across the walls of the gorge will not disappoint!

The Manitou Incline
- Manitou Springs
- PLAN FOR: 3-4 HOURS
The Manitou Incline is by far the most well-known hiking trail in a little town riddled with hiking trails, and it’s less than a mile long. Don’t let the distance fool you, you’ll gain more than 2,000 feet in elevation, meaning it’s basically straight up. That’s 500 feet taller than the tip of the Empire state building! So what makes this insane feat worth the trek? Unbelievable views and a sense that you can leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Adventures Out West
- Colorado Springs
- PLAN FOR: 2-6 HOURS
AOW has more adventures than you can shake a stick at, and if stick shaking is your bag, they would know where all the best sticks are! Take a Segway tour through Garden of the Gods, a hot air balloon ride for a bird’s eye view of Colorado Springs, soar across the valleys of Manitou Springs on their zip line courses, or charter a Jeep tour to get the most out of your vacation. Whatever adventure you choose, Adventures Out West will be with you every step of the way.
Colorado-Grown Adventure
Between our crazy geology and our wild-west roots, today's adventures are one of a kind!
Broadmoor Outfitters
- Colorado Springs
- PLAN FOR: 3-6 HOURS
Broadmoor Outfitters will take you on about any outdoor adventure you can imagine, but they have a few specialties. Enjoy zip-line courses that range from 300 to 1800 feet all above the beautiful Broadmoor Seven Falls. Check your zen-like balance with standup paddle boarding, or sharpen your axe-throwing skills. They even have beginner and intermediate falconry classes!
Cave of the Winds Mountain Park
- Manitou Springs
- PLAN FOR: 1-4 HOURS
Start your adventure with one of three cave tours from mild to muddy, then scurry your way topside to climb, balance and ultimately drop from the cliffside. Try your skills on a three story challenge course of ropes and beams over Williams Canyon. Finally, drop into the canyon on the TERROR-dactyl. At 100 miles an hour, this giant pendulum swing is 100% thrill.
