COME TO LIFE Must-Try Experiences for Every Type of Traveler With so much to explore, Colorado is an escape full of endless possibilities. Some come to chase thrills flying on zip lines or kayaking through rapids, while others unwind in a quiet mineral spring and sip wine in the sun. Across the state, you’ll find experiences that feel tailored to your travel style — and a landscape that makes every moment more rewarding. Whether you’re here for the heart-pumping rush, rejuvenating rest, local flavors or the rich culture, it’s easy to find what speaks to you and shape your perfect Colorado vacation. For Adventurers If your ideal getaway means chasing bold, memorable moments, Colorado has plenty of ways to take things up a notch. Start in Longmont with a jump from up to 18,000 feet at the Mile Hi Skydiving Center . It’s fast, intense and delivers unbeatable views of the Front Range mountains. In Colorado Springs, try the Broadmoor Soaring Adventure , where you’ll zip line near the cascading waterfalls of Seven Falls from cliffside platforms built to limit environmental impact. Book a lesson and rentals at Confluence Kayak & Ski to practice whitewater kayaking right in downtown Denver on the Platte River. It gives beginners a taste of carving through rapids without having to leave the city. Head to Castle Rock for Epic Sky Trek , where you’ll climb, balance and zip through 110 aerial challenges across four levels — perfect for families, friends or solo travelers looking for a full-day thrill. The Royal Gorge Via Ferrata in Cañon City adds another layer of excitement: guided climbs along granite cliff walls with panoramic gorge views. After conquering the traverse, stick around for a walk across the Royal Gorge Bridge — the highest suspension bridge in the country — or book an ATV or Jeep tour amid the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. 90 1-800-COLORADO KENNAN HARVEY
