Looking for a fun adventure that will give you a birds-eye-view of the Oregon landscape like you’ve never seen it before? Visit this aerial adventure park in Gaston!
Tree To Tree Aerial Adventure Park is nestled high in the trees, providing you with challenges while you're surrounded by gorgeous foliage.
You'll find six aerial obstacle courses up in the treetops. As you complete the courses, you'll face more than 60 different obstacles, including balance beams, ladders, bridges, and more.
Just about anyone can take on the challenges of the aerial obstacle courses. You must be at least seven years old, under 300 pounds, and in good enough shape to navigate the course, which progressively gets more difficult.
As you go through each level, you'll end on the ground, so you can decide whether or not you want to move on to the next course. While the courses might look intimidating at first, you'll quickly gain confidence as you complete each one.
Don't worry - you'll be perfectly safe up there! Certified guides will give you a training orientation, and they're there to help. You'll also be clipped into a safety line the entire time.
If you'd rather cruise through the trees at a faster pace, take the zip line tour. The 1,280-foot-long zip line gives you a thrill as you whiz over the treetops.
Kids and adults alike will enjoy the Monkey Grove. It's kind of like a climbing wall, but instead of a wall, you're climbing three different trees! Scramble straight up as high as you'd like (the tallest tree allows you to climb 40 feet), then jump off. The auto-belay system will lower you to the ground safely.
While kids seven and older can navigate the aerial obstacle courses, younger participants will enjoy the Adventure Village. It's completely enclosed, so there's no need for harnesses and gear, and kids ages two to eight will have a blast playing in this safe spot.
Visit Tree To Tree Aerial Adventure Park at 2975 SW Nelson Rd., Gaston, OR 97119. It's open from March through November, starting at 9 a.m. The last group goes out three hours before sunset, so plan plenty of time for your adventure.
