Reach for the Sky 700 foot Canopy Walk

Our new Reach for the Sky 700 foot Canopy Walk is open! Your race entry fee includes the ability to walk the canopy bridge through the tops of the trees. 

The Canopy Walk is a suspension bridge hanging off of a 70 foot central tower. The bridge runs over a steep "glacial bowl" giving the bridge dramatic height without a long climb.  It gives visitors an up-close view of the trees.  It will let guests experience nature in a way they couldn't when walking the trails. We are SO excited for you to experience this!
