Sooooo fun!! - We had so much fun! Our guides were Olivia, Jess, Bus, and Andy. The experience is well-worth the money. Ziplines, cable/rock obstacles, freefall platform, and rappelling all included. Bring water! You can hook it to your harness. You can also bring your phone and take pics when you're able...just keep in a secure pocket.

An amazing adventure day! - We had an exceptional experience at AVA. We did the Via Ferrata course in the morning with Spencer and Emma. They were encouraging and fun! They obviously enjoy their job. The course was so amazing and my 12 year old son and I had a blast! We did white water rafting with Jill in the afternoon and, again, our expectations were exceeded! It was a beautiful course that was a great blend of peacefulness and adventure. We felt safe the entire trip and well cared for. All of the staff at the outpost were equally friendly and informative. We would highly highly recommend this company for any of their trips and we hope to come back with the rest of our family in the future!

Great WWR and Climbing experience - CODY and ERNIE are amazing zipline and climbing guides. The company was very nice place to go and a great organization to use. I was very happy with both the whitewater rafting and climbing. COLD WATER!!!!!! Prepare for that if going in July. I am gay and let me tell you, I had a crush on both of these boys (assuming boy is proper to use for at least one of the guides).

Fun and Challenging Adventure - We had an amazing time on this via ferrata. Our family of 7 ranged in age 13 to 66. We all had a blast. It was challenging, but incredibly fun. The equipment is good quality. Our guides, TJ and Spencer were excellent at keeping it fun and safe. There are alternate routes for a few obstacles, so those who want to take a slightly easier route have the option to do so, while still having fun. Highly recommended.

Great experience! - This experience was a once in a lifetime experience. We had Shawn and Nate as our guides. They were so encouraging and patient with those of us who were terrified! We were so happy our family got to experience this together!

Granite via Ferrata was awesome !!!! - The experience covered many aspects of climbing including traversing, rappelling, zip lining and multiple bridges suspended between rock formations . Coby and TJ kept our group safe , kept us laughing And gave us valuable tips for completing the Ferrata . I dropped my phone out of my pocket and they climbed down 30 feet to retrieve it !! Thanks so much for showing us a great time !!

Nice via ferrata, great guides! - We are pretty experienced in doing via ferrata, so this via ferrata was good and not terribly difficult. The nice thing about it is, the tour included ziplines and some obstacle courses. It also included a rappell and a freefall… if you have never done via ferrata, this is a good beginning course and I would highly recommend it.
