A walking stick is advisable. There is some very steep trail and footing can be slippery, especially on the way down due to loose gravel. Be sure to take water with you. Oh, and a camera as well.
The trek up can take 40-60 minutes. A fit person on a mission to create a personal best, can go from the trailhead gate at Chateau on the Ridge, to the Summit in under 40 minutes. But why rush? There are rest stops along the way, and absolutely beautiful views. You might even see some deer, a garter snake or grouse. If you picnic at the summit, pack out what you pack in.

Little platforms way, way above your head. Dozens of ziplines whizzing everywhere. A gravity-powered jump that makes your palms sweat. More suspended ladders, bridges, nets, and obstacle games than you can count. The swing so giant and fast that it makes your vision blur. Some call it crazy, or thrilling – kinda terrifying, or surprisingly intense.
When life feels boring, too cozy, or is just missing something, it’s a signal to push at the edges of your comfort zone. Imagine what a little nudge (or a big ‘ol leap) into a new aerial adventure will bring. Fun? Challenge? Adrenaline? At WildPlay, that’s only the beginning. Let your fear out to play.
