This was my 2nd time soaring with Tree Top Adventures of Durango, and again I was not disappointed. I went last season, and returned this year because they opened up a new 1400' line soaring down the Animas River. Besides the fun and excitement of this adventure, the staff is wonderful; very personable. They do their best to remember everyone's name. And SAFETY is the most important thing on their minds. They want everyone to have a great time and to feel welcome, but most of all to be safe. Add to this, the wonderful lunch they serve.
Exciting, safe, fun, personable, great lunch, a train ride, and all in the most beautiful surroundings ever; what more could you ask for?

Soaring Tree Top Adventures is a great time for the whole family. Our nine year old son had "the best day of his whole life" here. I was amazed by the professional nature of the "Sky Rangers" and their ability to remember the name of every person they enocountered. At no time did I feel like safety was sacrifaced. In fact, if I had to find fault with something, it was that I felt too safe, I somtimes forgot that I was 100 feet off the forest floor. Even the lunch was great.

Perfect outing for our active family, a mom and two boys (13 & 17). The day begins with a train ride to the site, then soaring through the trees, crossing the Animas River and a little bit of hiking which makes for a full day that all ages can enjoy. It would be a great idea for a corporate outing or family gathering. There were 5-year-olds and 70-year-olds on our trip.

We hopped on the famous narrow gauge train from Durango to Silverton at Rockwood Station(which cuts the train ride in half, about 40-minutes versus over an hour). The train drops you off at the soaring course, a scenic remote valley on the upper Animas River. Paperwork and gearing-up was well managed so we were up in the trees quickly. There is a huge emphasis on safety and the procedures in place which puts everyone at ease. My kids especially enjoyed the brand-new 1/4mile zip line that takes over 40-seconds. It was really fun.

The guides are obviously well-trained to be personable and remember your name. They really made the day enjoyable, so much so my oldest son asked about working there next summer. They were an exceptional group of young people.

Finally, lunch and snacks were OUTSTANDING. No mushy turkey sandwiches, carrot sticks and lukewarm lemonade. A gourmet lunch (like white albacore tuna and pear salad, cold berry soup, pulled bbq pork sandwiches, homemade ice cream sandwiches and a variety of specialty drinks like Fuze, sparkling water, Gatorade) was served on a tree top platform overlooking the river...very nice. To top it off, three chocolate labs wait to fetch for the kids who eat fast and want to play.

It's not a cheap day...but, I wouldn't want to sacrifice the attention to details to save a little money. For more info check out their website, it's very accurate. And yes, your kids will be spinning around upside down through the trees before lunchtime.
