What is an Aerial Adventure Park / Challenge Ropes Course?
An Aerial Adventure Park aka Sky Trek is a challenge course designed to provide outdoor personal development and team building through high elements – that is, towers and elements at varying degrees of difficulty and heights. Our sky trekking course is built for both the challenge and for fun! A series of cables stretching between towers form an assortment of different elements. You’ll be harnessed and secured on a rope belay system as you move through the course. Our variety of features and elements as well as varying levels of difficulty are designed to test your skill, balance, nerves, and strength.

Our staff is fully trained to ACCT standards, and inspects the course and gear daily. As with any outdoor adventure experience, some inherent risk is involved.

Do you charge taxes? What are your permit and booking fees?
We do not charge taxes on our services because we are not required to by law. We are, however, required to pay numerous fees to many local, regional and state organizations, including but not limited to the City of Idaho Springs, Clear Creek County, Division of Oil and Public Safety (OPS), Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Colorado Department of Revenue and our property owner.
In addition to those fees, our booking software and credit card fees charge a large percentage of each transaction. When weather cancels events, we eat this cost. If weather is not the cancellation reason, however, we must charge the customer to recoup that cost.
In addition, we are a voluntary member of numerous local, state and national organizations that offer regulatory and strategic support to us as an outfitter. These membership costs are not included in our fees but they do provide additional layers of safety and professionalism that not all outfitters adhere to but we are committed to following. These include: Colorado River Outfitter’s Association (CROA), America Outdoors (AO), Association for Challenge Course Technology (ACCT) and more.
