This introductory course offers 13 unique obstacles, including 2 zipline elements, and is perfect for younger kids and first-time visitors. This course uses the revolutionary Edelrid Smart Belay system, which allows only one carabiner to be open at a time, providing additional safety for participants.
On this beginner to intermediate course, two participants travel side-by-side along the outer rim of the park. This course utilizes Saferoller® technology, a rolling continuous belay system, and is designed to encourage teamwork.
Just like at the ski slopes, the elements on this course range from easy or "green" elements to more difficult “blue” and “black” features. With no prescribed route, participants are free to choose their own adventure as they navigate the course.
This 35 ft vertical challenge course spans 3 different vertical levels. With 2 separate paths, participants can ascend side-by-side as the obstacles become more and more difficult. It takes incredible strength & strategy to get to the top.
Embrace the wild thrill of falling 40 feet as you swing out towards the Arkansas River! With seats for up to three participants, there is room to share the excitement with your family and friends. Enjoy the swing as part of the 2.5-Hour All Access Pass or on its own.
Climb to the top of a 25 ft pole and onto a platform where you and your partner look out over the Arkansas River. When you are ready, take the leap! You’ll jump, trying to grab hold of the trapeze bar suspended in front of you, and catch your breath as you are lowered to the ground.
The Browns Canyon Adventure Park is an aerial playground filled with many challenges and obstacles to conquer. Overlooking the renowned Arkansas River and the Browns Canyon National Monument, the park has four courses and two High Adrenaline challenges, allowing you to choose your challenge based on age, ability, and plain old gumption. Just like at the ski slopes, the courses range from introductory level elements to “blue” and “black” features, designed to test even the most intrepid adventurers. Because the course requires physical strength and stamina, each participant is encouraged to go at his or her own pace, and may not complete every course.
You can reserve a trip, or just drop by our site, although we highly recommend that you make a reservation in advance. We will do our best to accommodate walk-ins, but availability is not guaranteed. After check-in, we’ll supply you with a harness and helmet and give you a safety briefing on how to properly use all the equipment. Then one of our highly trained staff will facilitate your experience throughout the courses. Depending on your group size, you may join other participants in a small group as you move around the park.
The Adventure Park is open daily from May until August, and limited availability over Labor Day weekend. Daytime reservations are available at 8:30 AM, 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 1:30 PM. Walk-ins are welcome, but availability is not guaranteed. Evening sessions are available for groups of 25 or more by reservation only.

Some parts of the course are only 10 feet off the ground, while other elements can be up to 50 feet high. While you will be encouraged to complete as many obstacles as possible, some physical limitations may prevent you from completing a challenge. In this case, a facilitator will assist you to either complete the course or strategically exit.
