Overnight Expeditions

This expedition includes a full day of climbing followed by an evening aloft in a grand old growth Douglas fir tree, ranging from 250-300 feet tall. Towering above the forest floor in our Pacific Northwest temperate rain forest canopy, you will partake in an awe-inspiring, rare event few get to experience in their lifetime.

You will be climbing in a tree of unique beauty and ancient size. High in the tree, there will be a canvas “Treeboats©” waiting for you to rest, relax, stretch and take in the majesty of the canopy in peace. A “Treeboats©” is a heavy-duty canvas hammock, rated to carry thousands of pounds. This is a pleasant destination for your climb, giving you optimal comfort. The Treeboats© are constructed with a 2” thick air mattress providing a comfortable nights’ sleep. When you awake aloft in the breath-taking tree tops, you will be overlooking spectacular, mountainous views forested by old growth Douglas firs.

For this adventure, there is no prior climbing experience is necessary. Ascending the tree is comparable to hiking a mountain with a day pack. People that have climbed with us range from 8 to over 80 years old. Our expert guides outfit you in specially designed tree climbing harnesses appropriately adjusted for your personal size. Before the climb takes place, our guides will orient you with the techniques used to ascend and descend on your rope. When the climb takes place, your guide will be alongside you ascending into the canopy. You can rest upon a limb or climb into your Treeboats© to relax and eat an organic lunch. After enjoying some tree time, you have the option of descending down to spend time on Terra fir ma before dinner. We ascend into the canopy as night falls once again to settle in for a special evening under the stars. Morning is a gentle, sleepy time in the canopy as the music of the birds in the forest awakes around you. A light organic breakfast with coffee is served in your Treeboats©, truly giving a new meaning to “breakfast in bed.” A hot peppermint towel is served to you to wash up before getting out into the tree once again. After the expedition, you will have gained a new sense of self confidence and personal gratification for your new found life accomplishment.
