Zip across the Royal Gorge plateau on nine lines, take in sweeping hillside views, and race a companion on the 1,002-foot finale.
About this tour
Trade the ground for open sky on a nine-line zipline adventure above the Royal Gorge plateau. This beginner-friendly Cañon City zipline tour starts with a safety orientation and ground school, where guides teach the basics before you take to the course.
Then soar over forests and rolling hillsides, with the highest line reaching 50 feet above the plateau. Lines can reach speeds of up to 45 miles per hour, and the finale pairs you with a companion for a side-by-side race along the longest, 1,002-foot line. The experience lasts about two hours and includes the safety gear you need. Keep in mind that reaching the tower involves a climb comparable to four flights of stairs, and participants need to manage their speed and pull themselves along the cable if they lose momentum.
Book your Cañon City zipline tour for a lively way to see the Royal Gorge landscape from above. Tours run in rain but pause for nearby lightning or extreme winds; weather cancellations can be rebooked or refunded.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 20 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Cañon City
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.0.
