The Adventure

Imagine commanding a 25,000 ton of pure power while behind the wheel of one of the 'big boy' moving machines. You can have The Adventure.

Safety First at Earthwork Adventures™ - before you begin your adventure, everyone attends a mandatory safety and equipement orientation. Our equipment instructors are real life operators and foreman. Your safety and ours is the #1 priority. All participants are required to to dress in casual attire, with hiking boots or work boots, safety vest (supplied by us), hard hat (supplied by us) and if required personal eye protective gear (supplied by us).
Safety First At All Time!

Schedule a 1/2 day session or full day session at our Adventure Compound in Golden, Colorado. Our 7 acre site has it all; hills and valleys, plenty of room to push dirt around and dig holes. Piles and piles of dirt and rock await you and your personalized session.

Select from a variety of challenge activities all designed to provide the full heavy equipment experience.
