Unique Adventure! - This was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. The instructors were awesome and gave us the perfect amount of training to feel safe yet as independent as we wanted to be in our pursuit of reaching the treetop. We had plenty of time to enjoy the sunset at the top and did not feel rushed at all. The night hike back was cool too. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique adventure!

Such a Fun Experience! Highly Recommend! - This was such a fun experience! My husband and I did the sunset climb and got to watch the sunset from the top of a 300 foot tall tree while eating an absolutely delicious Mountain House dinner. Megan was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable! An overall one of a kind, super fun experience. We had a blast and would definitely recommend!

A great time - Megan and Brennan were so friendly, patient, and encouraging. Once you do the practice lesson the climbing nerves melt away.

Amazing! - One of my favorite life experiences! I love trees. Not just a little bit. I am a tree hugger. The experience of climbing a 500 year old tree that is 300 feet tall is nothing short of magical! Brennan (sp) was an exceptional guide/instructor. He was so patient, affirming, and helpful. I strongly encourage you to experience what it is like to be a spotted owl (or any bird), perched high in the treetops as the sun sets. You’re going to love it!

AMAZING & HIGHLY recommended!!! - We did a sunset climb with Megan and it was INCREDIBLE!! She was knowledgeable and patient, assuring us we could take our time getting up the incredible 300ft tree with plenty of time to catch the sunset. It was a beautiful climb, the views getting better and better as we got higher. She even got some amazing pictures of us and our gorgeous sunset. Megan even made the hike back interesting with the black lights we had equipped to our headlamps. 10/10 experience, we would do this again!

It was an amazing view on top of the tree, I felt on top of the world, an amazing feeling that was❤️ - I was afraid of heights and Megan makes it easier, she was an amazing coach. I was not paying attention to the rope and it got caught into the battery and Megan was there to save me, I was not even scared. I will be back.

A Must-Do for Adventure Seekers! - The Sunset Treeclimb was truly a breathtaking experience unlike anything I’ve done before. Duncan was a great guide, giving us a comprehensive lesson to prep us for the climb before leading us on a gorgeous hike through the park. The view was incredible and well worth conquering my fear of heights, I felt extremely safe the whole time. This was our favorite activity from our long weekend in Portland!! Loved it! A few heads up: the trail was muddy- wear shoes you don’t mind getting dirty, it was quite chilly once the sun set, the harness wraps around your legs- long pants helped!

Tree Camping?! YES, Please. - This was by far one of the coolest adventures I’d been on. I did the overnight tree camping experience and it’s truly an unforgettable, amazing experience. It’s like backpacking but in a tree! This was my first time doing any kind of vertical climbing. It was not easy but it is very doable, especially once you get into the rhythm of it! It was truly breathtaking to see the forest from another perspective. Once we got to the top and settled into the hammocks for the night, I felt very much at peace. Our guides Leo and Megan were so great, they were very helpful, patient and made sure we were comfortable and safe the entire time. If you’re looking for a unique, unforgettable experience amongst the trees, I highly recommend this!

Spectacular sunset climb, unique experience at 270' up a tree. - Spectacular sunset climb! Never have I done anything like it before. Wonderful experience for people of all ages. We had 20-somethings to 60-somethings in the group. The staff is very friendly, helpful, supportive, and, of course, safety conscious. Climbing 270 feet up sounds daunting, but you go at your own pace and everyone made the ascent comfortably.

Sore for a day, memories for a lifetime - This was an amazing experience I 100% recommend. I was a little reticent to do this solo but the group I climbed with quickly become like family. The climb and hike does require some strength and stamina but you go at your own pace the whole time. Definitely consider paying extra for the sunset climb as the extra tree height and view are completely worth it. Shout out to Megan who was an amazing tree guide!
