Best Adventure Sports in Denver

, 2 Options Found

This locals' favorite is considered by many to be the best and most difficult single-track mountain biking terrain along the Front Range. From the notorious, heart-pounding climb up rocky Belcher Hill Trail to the thrilling descents down the Maverick or Longhorn Trails, it offers 18 miles (30 kilometers) of multi-use trails. Hiking, horseback riding and wildlife viewing are also popular activities. The park also maintains two campsites for backpackers and horse packers. Most riders begin at the east entrance to the park. A must visit for the camping fans.

If you are ready for a thrill, try skydiving with Mile-Hi Skydiving Center in Longmont, the closest skydiving operation to the Denver area. Jump from its twin-engine jet-propelled aircraft from 12,500 feet (3810 meters), free falling faster than 100 miles an hour. Beginners can try a tandem jump strapped to an instructor, with a parachute for two. You can even get your tandem jump videotaped for posterity. You must be 18 years old with a valid ID and weigh less than 200 pounds (90 kilograms) to tandem jump. Other jumps are available for more experienced skydivers.
