About Captain Zipline
Captain Zipline is Salida's original aerial adventure park, set in the dramatic red-rock canyons near Browns Canyon just outside town. Built around a network of zip lines strung high above the terrain, the park has grown into a multi-activity destination that combines big-air thrills with the rugged scenery of the Arkansas River Valley.
Guests can fly across the canyon on guided zip-line tours, test their nerve on a via ferrata route bolted to the cliff faces, and explore an aerial adventure park of suspended bridges and obstacles. Captain Zipline also runs guided off-road ATV and 4x4 tours into the surrounding backcountry, opening up high-desert trails and mountain views for visitors of all experience levels. Trips are professionally guided, gear is provided, and courses are designed to challenge thrill-seekers while staying accessible to families and first-timers.
The park stands out as the area's go-to for land-based adrenaline — a rare operator combining zip lines, via ferrata, an aerial park, and off-road tours in one canyon-country setting. For travelers who want a break from the river or a full day of dry-land adventure near Salida, Captain Zipline delivers a memorable, scenery-rich experience.
