I decided to take my son tree climbing for his 10th birthday. The instructor Leo was so kind and patient in describing how to use the gear and even made some jokes that made everything fun. He shared some really interesting facts about the forest and the old growth trees. His passion was infectious as we climbed. At one point I got a little fearful and Leo came down with such encouraging support that I was able to go further. My son went almost to the very top with his encouragement. We had an amazing time and it's a memory we will cherish forever. We will definitely be scheduling to do it again. We hope that Leo is still the guide because he was great! This is such a fun activity that I would encourage families to do.

It was great sharing this opportunity with your son for his birthday. Hopefully it will be a birthday he will never forget! Let your friends and family know that this adventure exists! You are the rare .001% of the population who has climbed an old-growth tree! Hope I get to climb with you two again, there are two other trees we have setup that you two still have not climbed, another day tree and there is the sunset tree. But the sunset tree is like 100ft taller. Best Wishes,

It was a privilege being up in that old beautiful tree! The process of getting there was a little harder than I expected, but we all felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in learning something new. It was fun! Leo was a very experienced, knowledgable and attentive guide. I felt safe and challenged at the same time. A wonderful experience!

This is a MUST if you're in the Silver Falls area! Leo was so patient (we were first time tree climbers), charismatic and make the experience so fun. My friends and I couldn't stop saying how much fun we had on the drive home. If you're thinking about booking a climb do it now, you'll have a one of a kind experience! Also, for all the Twilight fans out there - fun fact! The movie was filmed at this location!!
