Highlights
Come experience the only old-growth tree climbing activity in the State of Washington and create some unforgettable memories. This is your chance to do something not even .1% of the population has done, but now you can. In small-groups climb together on 1-4 trees between 100 and 200 feet high, depending on your athletic level. Some of the trees are even rare old-growth trees. See the unique perspective above the canopy and feel what it's like to be eye level with an eagle as you climb/swing around like a monkey through the open air and catch branches, while safely harnessed by rope. Climb your way up some of the tallest trees in the world to amazing views of the upper canopy, mountains, and ocean. Connect to nature like you have never done before, beyond the trail. During this activity you will explore the special ecology of old-growth trees and its importance in our environment and so much more. Groups larger than 6 people, please contact us directly.

5Great PNW experience
What a fantastic experience! Being immersed in the tree canopy was such a cool way to experience the PNW forests I love. Our guide, Alex, explained everything - safety and technique - in a clear, engaging way, and was unfailingly forgiving if we forgot something. We all felt very safe and were able to fully enjoy ourselves. The views are incredible - Mt. Baker, the Olympic range, and the forest around us.
5These guides really know the ropes...and the trees, and their guests
Leo and Cameron were incredibly professional, kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and above all, accommodating. After our first (big, beautiful) tree, I could feel my 65 year-old back twinging a bit and thought I might sit the next tree out...but they zipped out the battery-powered climber and up I went, with my 33 y/o son! It was one of the best Mothers' Day experiences I've ever had, but don't wait for Mothers' Day--treat yourself now! It's your birthday! Go spend it in awe!
5Unique experience!
Fun! Always happy to try something new!
5Bucket List Item!
I’m terrified of heights so this was an opportunity for me to overcome that. Brandon did a terrific job of allowing everyone to go at their own pace. He was very encouraging to the group who were all new to tree canopy climbing. The safety instruction at the beginning was very thorough and he did not begin until everyone understood how to use their equipment. We even did a test run on a small tree to get the hang of it. The views at the top were incredible! Amazing experience that I will never forget!
5So much fun
We had a fantastic time celebrating our 40th anniversary with our kids. We loved the whole experience. Alex did a fantastic job as our guide.
5Heavily relied on...
Heavily relied on climbing with ascenders which requires some physical fitness and coordination. Excellent instruction and focus on safety, enough that we could assemble and disassemble our entire equipment repertoire on our own. It is nice to have long pants in order to avoid drapes from the tree or ropes.
