The office for the Idaho Springs Ziplines are in the Argo Mill building, which are the above coordinates. The actual ziplines are at N39° 45.588, W105° 34.422, but that is not where you go to ride them. You will meet at the Argo Mill and they will shuttle you to and from the actual ziplines.

Imagine stepping off a platform that’s more than 6 stories high!
Zip high above the treetops and over the rushing river to the next tower that’s more than a thousand feet away. You’ll enjoy amazing views of the surrounding canyons, river and highway in every direction and zip thousands of feet on a trip with us.
