among the treetops

By annemarie on March 16, 2010 | Filed Under faces & places

Thanks to one of the dads who came on our excursion, Chris Smith, we have a bunch of great photos from our Greenheart Canopy Walkway tour so I wanted to share them here to give you more a sense of what it’s like. We were lucky, it was the last beautiful, warm, sunny day before the rain started up again and the garden was in full bloom. There were some truly amazing magnolia trees and flowers – some of the blossoms were as big as our heads.

crossing the walkway

Crossing a bridge. They're very narrow and wiggly. Not for the faint of heart.

more people on the walkway

More bridge crossing.

The light through the trees is actually the ocean.

little listener

Even the little ones were listening.

the whole kit and kaboodle

Everyone but one grandma who wasn't too fond of heights and didn't want to climb to the second storey of this platform. The heighest point of the whole walkway.

two storey tree house

Walking down from the upper storey to the lower storey of the viewing platform.

erratic ending

One of the last things you look down on before you descend is a huge erratic boulder. And one of the first things the kids did after they got off the last bridge was climb the boulder.

    Annemarie this looks like such an incredible experience. Such a Westcoast excursion! Definitely adding it to my list of “Things I Want To Do When Bella Is A Bit Older”!
