Canon City, Colorado is a little Wild West town located along the bottom of Royal Gorge, a massive canyon of the Arkansas River that reaches depths of over twelve hundred feet. It’s enough to induce a bit of vertigo in even the bravest visitors, so in the typical style of humans, we built a zipline over it. The very brave can opt to zipline across Royal Gorge, which features a state of the art “Flight Line”—a free fall belay system which is the first of its kind in the world. The incredible, world-class Royal Gorge Rafting & Zipline Tours features up to 11 lines and with speeds of more than 55 miles per hour, is one of the fastest in the world. Map
