Based in the Pacific Northwest, Expedition Old Growth provides tours of the region’s beautiful forests while assisting adventure-seekers with their guided ascent to the upper most canopies of the majestically ancient trees. Along the way, we create a greater appreciation for the living habitat and unique flora thriving at the forest floor and up into the tree-tops. The greatest appreciation for anything in life is developed by experience. At the center of operations is a commitment to a no trace policy, non-invasive methods to ascend the trees and our very best efforts to leave the path and trees exactly as we found them. Though the absolute climax of the tour is the view from the canopy, our tours leave a lasting impression and heightened sensitivity for our old-growth forests and environment; an experience, we hope, that will carry on for a lifetime. Experience the forest, soak in the views and write your own story.
