Guided Excursions


​Connect with trees and yourself on a whole new level!

​Few activities offer the unique aspect and adventure of working your way into the branches of a large, mature tree. 

As a child you may have fond memories of climbing high into smaller trees around your yard or neighborhood. Do you recall that feeling of adventure and excitement? It felt great to achieve lofty goals all on your own. It was peaceful up there.
​
With Guided Excursions, you climb alongside a tree climbing adventure guide, as we head to the top of the tree for a memorable experience you won't soon forget.

Large trees require multi-pitch climbing, which involves resetting climbing lines progressively higher in the tree once we reach the top of our climbing ropes. Your guide will handle the technical rigging along the way as you work the through the challenges and excitement of climbing into a place few or possibly no humans have gone before.

Professional and recreational tree climbers experience trees in a unique way. Our Guided Excursions are perfect for inexperienced climbers and novice climbers as we provide the equipment and knowledge to safely explore large, mature trees.

​Whether you have a tree on your own property which you'd like to grow a deeper connection with or climb with us in one of our favorites, it's time to take a break from your ordinary routine.

The trees are waiting to be explored!
