Alex was amazing! There were 6 of us including my 9 year old daughter and my husband who is afraid of heights. I wasn’t sure they would be able to do it or even like it. Alex was so positive and helpful that everyone made it to the top. 175’ into the treetops! Everyone was so proud of themselves. And the views were outstanding. When do you get to look down on a bald eagle flying with Baker and Rainier in view? We loved it so much!

Heavily relied on...

Brandon_B, Jul 2025
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.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks for the thoughtful review! We're glad you appreciated the focus on safety and the hands-on instruction—it’s awesome that you felt confident managing the gear yourself. Great tip about the long pants too! Hope to see you back for another climb soon! 🌲💪

Something different!

Tyler_S, Jun 2025
Very different from anything else you would normally find on any other vacation. Brandon and Alex were very knowledgeable and were confident and patient and made you feel comfortable. This activity is for all ages and anyone can have fun!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for the kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed this unique experience and felt supported by Brandon and Alex—they’ll love hearing that. Tree climbing really is for almost all ages(7+), and we’d be thrilled to have you back for another adventure anytime! 🌳😊

Unique and Exciting!

Brandon was awesome! Very cool experience! We didn’t know what to expect and weren’t disappointed. Brandon made us feel safe and was patient with our kids. Also I left my phone and he was very kind to bring it to us.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Hey Kelly! Glad you enjoyed the experience and thought that our guide was awersome. We love Brandon toon! Come back another time! We have kids and teen camps! There is also another location down in Oregon at Silver Falls State Park that has huge 300ft trees and you can do tree camping if you are looking for another unique experience. :)

Go into the treetops with Alex. Memories for a lifetime!

Teachers on a limb

Rilin was an excellent, knowledgeable, and supportive guide. He went above and beyond extending our trip past our time so we could get to the top of the tree. He provided us with an awesome experience that we will not forget.
