Sunset Canopy Climb on Lopez Island

Description

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. Groups larger than 6 people, please contact us directly.

Could have stayed up there all night

We did the Sunset Canopy Climb. Learning the techniques and equipment on the "practice" tree was a great way to build confidence, though if there is a larger group of people it takes some time to get through everyone. The guides are very friendly and encouraging as you find yourself amidst unbelievable heights. Be sure to plan for the ferry schedule in advance. Thanks again to Leo and Brendan!

Tree Top gaze- takes your breath away!

Leo provides an unforgettable Old Growth tree climbing experience that is educational, recreational and life changing. If you ever find yourself in Washington State, this unique exposure that a tiny fraction of the population gets to experience, is a must do. The smells, the views, the physical and mental exhilaration will be forever embedded in your soul. These 350-750 year old gentle giants have stood in their glory all these years enabling us to still have the opportunity to scale and admire. Thank you Leo for this breathtaking experience!

Thanks Krista, the writing in your review flows and describes our experience as if it came from an author of famous literature (or are you writer?). We appreciate your kind words very much. All the best to you and Peter.
