Activities the entire family will love include:

·  Via Ferrata and Rappel – an exhilarating rock climbing experience for adventurous first timers on Colorado's FIRST private Via Ferrata. With a climb starting above 8,200 feet, it combines a 100 foot climb and 130 foot rappel down. Specially designed to use the native rock.

·  Challenge Course – an eight element challenge course with routes featuring a 36 foot tower, sky bridge, log staircase, zip-line, and more!

·  Disc-Golf –sends players for a round through the woods on a fun, but challenging, tournament-level course.

·  And more - in addition, Lawson Adventure Park offers a bungee trampoline, Water Walkerz, maze, gyro-sphere extreme, spider wall, mechanical bull and more.

The main lodge is scheduled for completion in mid-May. Year-round lodging is now open, featuring:

·  Camping -With a bathhouse, fire pit and horseshoes. Tents and sleeping bags for rent, and firewood for sale.

·  Yurts – for guests who want to camp without roughing it, the Park offers five yurts on-site. With bunkbeds, couches and coffee tables, the yurts are perfect for "glamping." Yurts do not have running water, but they do share a bath house. The bath house has his and hers sides each with three showers, three toilets and two sinks.

·  Cabins – The Park has eight professionally designed luxury cabins on-site. Blending rustic and modern designs, the cabins feature angled roofs and high windows providing natural light. Cabins range in size from 400 to 600 square feet, offering seven one bedroom & a two bedroom option, as well as parking with views of the Rocky Mountains and the Park.
