Seven Lines, One Peak: Zip 'n' Ride Combo Over Dry Gulch to an 8,000‑ft Silver‑Mining Site.
Radium Hot Springs’ Zip 'n' Ride Combo Tour stitches two distinct mountain experiences into a single day: a hands-on, interpretive zipline circuit that sends riders across Dry Gulch Valley, followed by an ATV or SXS climb to the remnants of an early 1900s silver-mining town perched at 8,000 feet. The package is built for short, concentrated bursts of adrenaline peppered with broad alpine views of the Purcell Range.
