In BC’s Kootenay Rockies, a forested Monashee Mountains landscape proves more than just a pretty backdrop. Case in point: Revelstoke’s SkyTrek Adventure Park. A heart-thrumming test of strength and stamina, the park’s eco-friendly High Ropes Challenge Course gets the blood pumping with treetop games that weave along a maze of ladders, nets, suspended bridges and swing logs. The day’s outdoor play follows a natural progression as thrill-seekers find their balance along the low-impact Green Course before manoeuvring the intermediate skills challenges of the Blue. Once you’ve accomplished this feat, it’s on to the Black. This new high-altitude course offers up a series of black diamond-level games and challenges that guarantee a strategic workout for the mind to match your physical exertion. And while games are good, the park also promises a thrill for the high flyers in your crew a la ziplining or skateboard sliding from perch to perch. If you’ve still got steam, head to the Tower: the Sky Swing will rush you through the trees, while the simulated free fall of the Sky Drop will have you quaking in your boots. That is, until you scramble up for another go. www.skytrekadventurepark.com
