Walk in the TreetopsExperience fun, learning and adventure in Walk In The Treetops. This 2 1/2-hour nature walk & scenic activity offers a unique view of the forest from an elevated boardwalk through the treetop canopy. This includes a shuttle ride out to the trail-head from the Base Lodge area, a safety presentation, hiking out and back on an uneven 1/2 mile trail and a walk on an elevated 700' boardwalk at heights up to 70'. Guides give ecosystem talks relative to our forests and point out the local flora and fauna. It's the only walk of it's kind in the United States!
Reservations are very highly recommended as these popular summer tours sell out quickly! 406-862-2900

Excited about Walk In The Treetops? Check out this video tour that The Missoulian published on their website in 2008.
It makes for a pretty good overview. Please note that we have newer, more comfortable harnesses since this video was made, and that our Summer operating dates are not the same as they were in 2008 (see the Hours and Dates page).
