Soaring Tree Top Adventures in ranked #1 out of 30 different things to do in Durango. We’ve even been rated as the top attraction in all of the United States. Here’s an example of one of the many reviews that we’ve received:
If you want to do something that will be the talk of your vacation, go soaring at Tall Timber. Even being a native of Colorado, I was so impressed by the location and the Ponderosa Pines…they were beautiful. You get almost 5 hours in a private railcar on the Durango – Silverton narrow gauge railway going to and from the location and you’ll never miss the fact that you didn’t go to Silverton. I did get in trouble when I walked thru the 1st Class cars which are between your Tall Timer private car, and the snack car. A lady gave me a semi-snooty look and made the comment..”If this is First Class, why are you walking thru here?.” I simply told her that’s because I came from the Private Car in the back. She said “Oh”. It was priceless!
Received a warm welcome and got fitted with the coolest and safest equipment you can imagine. They even had special equipment made so that guests couldn’t saboatge their safety. Where to keep your camera? They’ve got that covered so you can carry it with you without it getting in the way. You don’t even need to supervise the kids….they can do it on their own and the staff will take great care of them!
You’ll love the home made cranberry energy bars for your morning snack…they are about the best thing I have ever eaten. When you check in, you get to order your lunch of a menu so you can choose what you want. Amazingly, you get off one of your “soars” and there’s your lunch box waiting for you. You grab a drink (there must have been a dozen choices) and open your box lunch…which isn’t really a box lunch but a gourmet meal on a plate. Just when you think it can’t get better, you get a homemade chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich for dessert…it was incredible.
Everyone is expertly hired, well trained and well managed. The owner’s were totally involved overseeing everything that was going on. This is a 5 STAR CLASS ACT that is designed to give you an incredible experience. I think it took no more than 45 minutes and the entire staff in the trees knew everyone’s name…..that’s SERVICE!
Enough said….I can’t imagine anyone who shouldn’t go. See their video for the scaredy cats on your trip and I think even they will be ok doing it!. Like someone else said, you get the train, snacks, lunch and an amazing experience…so the cost really isn’t as much as it seems. A must do in my opinion!
