The Riverfront Zip Line's official website contains information regarding the views of Mt. Garfield, the Bookcliffs, and the Grand Mesa that zip liners can enjoy, but also states the following message:

We're not taking 2025 bookings yet, please check back later.

The agreement between Bonsai Design, the company behind not just the zip line but much of Las Colonias Park as a whole, and the City of Grand Junction states that if the zip line remains closed for over a year, the city is given the option to purchase it.

In addition to operating the zip line, Bonsai Design is also obligated to create at least 15 jobs and maintain its headquarters in Grand Junction for at least 10 years.
