Unique and memorable experience - 10/10 - Amazing experience! I was a little hesitant as I am not too keen on heights, but our instructor Leo was so knowledgeable, patient and kind that made me comfortable and confident enough to make it up ~200ft to the top! Truly a unique experience that I won't forget. Thank you Leo and Tree Climbing at Silver Falls for the fond memory.

If I can do it, you can do it! - Tree climbing at Silver Falls is a must do experience if you’re looking for a fun adventure. There’s nothing like climbing up a Douglas Fir, the state tree of Oregon. As someone who loves trees this was truly an amazing and special experience. Our instructor Leo was very friendly and welcoming, he made me feel comfortable when I had no idea what I was doing. No experience was necessary, Leo taught us how to use all our gear and was very helpful every step of the way. Highly recommend!

Amazing Outdoor Adventure! - Wow, what an amazing experience! This is truly such a memorable adventure, and my partner and I feel very lucky to have spent our Saturday up in the trees of Silver Falls State Park! Leo is an awesome guide, and works hard to make sure everyone at any level and/or experience with climbing feels safe, confident, and capable climbing the majestic old-growth trees! Additionally, you are given the space, time, and encouragement to climb at your own pace, whether you want to bolt up the tree or need a little bit longer to take in the view/work up the courage. :) Positive, supportive, and so unique, I highly recommend this experience.

Bird’s Eye View - I never pass up a brochure stand in a hotel lobby, which is how we found this hidden gem of an activity two days before we arrived in Salem. We gift our children with experiences for their birthdays and this seemed like just the ticket for my soon to be 20 year old. Megan was an excellent teacher as she demonstrated all of the gear before having us practice the gear on the ground and then on the tree. Having us give her directions to go up and down was a great way to make us do the thinking. We got a workout as we learned to squat and pull up while attached to a rope to make our way to the top of the practice tree and then sit back as we made our descent. Now it was time for the real deal. After a short walk in our gear, we made our way to the tree that would have us 230 feet in the air to enjoy the gorgeous views around us. We were not rushed in any way and able to take breaks as needed. The view from the top was fantastic! I’m glad we discovered such a memorable adventure.

Just Do It! Amazing Experience / Location / People! - Whether this has even made it on to your bucket list, this is a must-do experience and these are the people to do it with! Safety is paramount to these guys, so no worries there. Tim and Laszlo were our guides and you won't find better people on this planet. They were kind, patient, friendly, funny, safety conscious, encouraging, and just all around stellar human beings. You will be challenged. You will be tired afterwards. But, you will never regret this experience with this company. Their love of the trees is obvious in everything they say and do. Hands down, best thing ever!

Go! Don't hesitate! Absolutely worth it! - Wow!!! This experience was amazing! We booked the morning climb. Our guides, Tim and Laszlo, knocked it out of the park! We are a group of three--one is 17 years(and a competitive rock climber); the others are 50+ and in moderately good shape. Our guides customized our climb to suit our physical abilities and our level of nervousness. Tim and Laszlo gave great tips on climbing technique to make the experience fun for all of us. Safety is their top priority. They were also knowledgable about the flora/fauna of the area. I highly recommend the photo package as well. Thanks for the awesome morning!

An incredible adventure - I was very impressed with the entire adventure. Meagan was an incredible instructor and she spent a lot of time going over the details, making us pracice the climb a couple of times before going to the giant, old growth doug fir. I felt very secure with all the safety features and was never afraid. I would do it again, for sure

Looking Down from Above !!! - This was certainly an event i did not have n my bucket list-however i certainly would do again and then check it off my list!!! I did not expect this to be as adventurous as is was -this event is a sleeper… If you have the chance t do it -and you are in Oregon..this is a MUST !!! The tour guide Megan was awesome and she took her time explaining and she certainly knows her stuff with safety being in the forefront of everything we did. The climbs and views from the top were amazing!!! Cudos to the facilitators of this activity !!

Multi-Day Tree Climbing Course at Silver Falls - Multi-day Tree Climbing Course: taking the 20-hour, multi-day course was immensely beneficial in gaining experience as a tree climber! The hours were split between different instructors: Leo, Duncan, & Brenden who are all open books & great at facilitating. I am a climbing arborist-in-training, & all the instructors helped raise my skill level & confidence. Ascending hundreds of feet into the upper canopies of massive, old-growth conifers doesn't feel possible until you take this class. Quintessential tree-hugger experience!
