9 Amazing Treetop Adventures You Can Only Have In Denver

Located about an hour and a half from the city lies the iconic Rocky Mountain National Park, which boasts views that are both high above the trees and along the lush valley! (We also happen to think that RMNP looks A LOT like Middle Earth... wouldn't you agree?)

Since the late 1800s, the Pikes Peak Cog Railway has been providing locals and tourists alike with a fun and easy way of traveling this iconic 14,115 foot Colorado summit! When you take a trip on the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, you will not only be traveling high above the trees, but above the entire state.

Who says that tree houses are only for kids? Located in Carbondale, the Rocky Mountain TreeHouse is a charming 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom home that features a number of fun surprises like a peaceful and shady porch, hot tub with unbelievable views, and a collection of other luxurious amenities.

Located only 37 miles from Denver lies the small town of Lawson and the epic Lawson Adventure Park; an epic 40-acre park complete with zip lining, rock climbing, and -- as you can see -- this beautiful canopy walk.

Now that you have walked high above the tree line, it is time to fly high above it with Denver's #1 zip line. Located in the scenic Philip S. Miller Park, Castle Rock Zip Lines offers 10 different lines spanning a whopping 1 1/2 miles, including an iconic 1,500-foot dual race line that allows friends to glide side-by-side at 50 miles per hour.

Recognize this house? If you have traveled west on I-70 (or if you're an avid Woody Allen fan), you probably recognize the iconic Sculptured House, which sits high above the trees of Genesee Mountain. (While the home isn't open to the public, it is still worth mentioning, as you can easily see it from the interstate.)

Can you tell that we LOVE high-adrenaline thrills? Nestled just outside of Glenwood Springs is the Colorado Adventure Center, complete with this amazing 40-foot-tall rock climbing wall and its 3 levels of difficulty!

If you are an animal lover, the Wild Animal Sanctuary is the place to be! What makes this sanctuary a must-visit? It's the large "Mile Into The Wild Walkway," which allows visitors the opportunity to see the animals overhead via an expansive 1 1/2 mile walkway.
