WELL worth every penny. EVERY PENNY. We got the full park pass (zip tour, obstacle course, racing zips, monkey grove, and treetop plunge) and I would do it all over again. When I looked at their website it felt promising, but Id be lying if I said I didnt have doubts. This place went above and beyond every expectation I had. First of all, the guides are amazing. Every single one of them. You can tell they really enjoy what they do, and they are great at making you laugh when your 50 feet from the ground, terrified, literally walking on a wire using hanging ropes to balance. The safety system they have (pretty sure its called ALF?) ensures you wont be injured if you fall (we didnt, because were cool like that, and we did all 6 courses) and is pretty easy to understand, and even easier to operate after you get it down. The zipline tour was a great way to start the morning (we started at 9am) so there was still that misty morning air. Our guides did all the work, making it super easy to kick back and enjoy the views and the zips. I wish I could say more about it but I wake up slow (started at 9am, remember) and dont remember many details. I cant say enough good things about the obstacle course though. 6 courses of varying difficulty, from beginner to ball-sy. Somebody has put a ridiculous amount of time into designing that. And it shows. Realistically, it can be as easy or as challenging as you want it to be. If you use your safety wire for balance (then your a cheater) but things get a bit easier. If you do the courses the way they were designed though, youre in for a hell of a challenge. Ill admit, I used the safety wire a little bit on the black and red courses (you try not to) because it is pretty challenging, but Id most definitely do it again. The add on stuff was great too, monkey grove is like a rock climbing wall on trees, just climb up as high as you dare then drop and the auto-belay system slowly lowers you to the ground. The tree top plunge definitely got my heart racing, you climb up like 60ft or so to a platform and leap off for about a 10 ft free fall before another one of those auto-belay systems catches you and brings you to the ground. The racing zips are exactly what youd expect, not really sure how else to describe them. Two parallel ziplines that you and a partner race down. The only thing I would suggest changing would be to make the racing zips a bit longer, but other than that it was an AMAZING experience. Would highly recommend. 10/10. I should also mention that after just about every course and add on, we were asked what we thought, like they actually wanted our feedback because they are constantly looking to improve. Well Tree to Tree, I got news for ya. There aint much to improve. Because its ALL awesome. - early 20s couple

My teenage daughter and I have made the trip here every summer for the last few years. The obstacle courses are awesome! Some of the courses can really push you out of your comfort zone, and they have added new ones every summer. When youre done, you really feel like you accomplished something to be proud of. All the customers seem to be encouraging to each other. Great sense of community. Lots of high fives happen up there. Its a great way to challenge yourself! We like to do the courses first thing in the morning, then follow up with the zip tour. The guides do all the rigging work for you during the zip tour, so you just get to relax and enjoy the experience. The views are amazing, and some of the zips get going pretty fast. Really exhilarating! Theres some hilly hiking during the tour, but nothing too difficult. You are provided with water bottles at the halfway point. Expect to go up with a small group. Bathroom facilities are Portapottys, but theyre not bad. Clean and well maintained. Plenty of easy parking. Plenty of picnic tables around the property, you can bring your own snacks. Theres also a full outdoor kitchen BBQ set up. You can get burgers and hotdogs grilled fresh, from an adorable little grandfather. He seems so happy to be there manning his BBQ in the sunshine , his smile is contagious ! You kind of want to hug him. All the staff has been super friendlyl every time we visit. They train you everything you need to know before they turn you loose to play. No worries about not knowing how to do stuff. Youll want to call them first, and book your reservations as far ahead of time as possible. We usually call several weeks before our trip. They do not accept walk ins. If they dont answer the phone, leave a voice mail and they do call you back pretty quickly. I have no complaints about this park. Its a small family run venture. Theres not many activities like this in our area, so its a special treat. Highly recommend!

Most fun Ive ever had! Only place in the pacific northwest like it. Supposedly there are only 60 or so people smart enough in the world to even design a course like this. Its like an Ewok village out of Star Wars. Each of 6 courses is progressively higher and harder. Some are designed to challenge your balance, while others are designed to challenge your fear. Once you get to the black diamond level, the course forces you to launch out just beyond your reach and comfort. I found myself living out memories of Super Mario Brothers, Tarzan, and Tomb Raider as I hopped between moving wired platforms, swung on ropes, and zip lined into a spider web. I went with three other guys for my brother-in-laws bachelors party on the opening day of the fourth season. They came all the way down from northern Washington state. The $45 admission to the obstacle course section was was well worth it for the for 3-4 hours of challenging fun. The safety equipment is state of the art mountain climbing gear and requires an orientation before we were allowed to attempt (under supervision) the courses. Its designed so that once you are clipped in, there is no way you can become unhooked until you complete a course (back on the ground). I fell once, and the jerk of the harness which caught me gave me some slight bruising and a bit of a scraped leg, but nothing major. Red and Black also take a good degree of upper body strength as they involve climbing, but also have the most fun challenges. Becka, our orientation leader was fantastic! She encouraged us not to "cheat" by using the safety wire to balance ourselves. They should totally host a game show out there, or races between the staff. Or black-light night time adventures. This place is prime for a groupon.

Customer Service at its BEST. I was treated as a pariah/sub-human for simply asking where was the smoking area. The staff member quickly told me I would have to completely leave the property and to make sure I got completely off the property by going to the main road (approx .25 of a mile). I reply "Really?" His response was "Its not that far". I told him he just lost the $350.00 since the person paying for the day was me. I went to my truck, 250 yards away from the main area to call my family which were in the park and smoke in my truck (away from everyone) waiting on my family to join me, the staff member searches me out, told me I was trespassing and he was calling if the sheriff if I didnt leave. I was completely shocked at his behavior, there were a 1000 different ways to handle this, that would have made things work out for all parties. Hope he feels good with decision. Rules are rules, but how you enforce them always determines your true nature. Customer Service at its BEST.
