Tree Canopy Climbing on Lopez Island

Overview
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.

This is an amazing experience that you don't want to miss. Leo is an incredible guide and helps you learn the "ropes" in no time. A classic PNW adventure that you won't regret!

Excellent experience overall. We started with a warmup climb to learn the ropes and the method of climbing, which takes some getting used to, and then the bulk of the experience is the time it takes to climb the main, big tree. There were only 2 other people in our climb, total of 4 guests plus 1 guide, and that felt fairly comfortable once we were up on the tree climbing together, especially if we were not all at the same height. The views from the big tree are great; not a perfectly panoramic view but very much worth the climb. It does take some effort getting up there, and it is mostly a leg and core workout (you place your feet into some loops and push yourself upward along the rope, trying to stay balanced). There are several ropes leading up to the top, and each one has a different level of difficulty once you reach the branches; my wife got to scramble through a lot of branches which was fun for her, and I got to climb up to a branch that was nice and bench-like, which was fun for me. Our guide, Isaac, is one of the most competent 18 year olds I've ever met and he made both my wife and I who are mildly afraid of heights feel very safe and prepared.

My husband and I (in our late fifties) did this recently with our adult son. My son is in his 20s, is physically capable, but has an intellectual disability which makes challenging activities more challenging. Our guide, Rilen, was SO patient with him, talking him through the whole climb and making it a success for him. My husband is afraid of heights but it didn't bother him at all. It feels totally safe. Definitely a unique activity!
