Plan Your Visit to West Mountain in Summer & Fall
West Mountain is a top spot for family-friendly downhill skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing in winter, but during summer and fall, visitors can check out a variety of warm weather activities. Find out more about their activities below:
The Aerial Treetop Adventure Park
Located at the peak of West Mountain among the treetop canopy, the five-acre Aerial Treetop Adventure Park consists of six high ropes courses for all ability levels, from beginner to advanced adventurers. The Treetop Adventure begins with a chairlift to the park, where guests are met by the West Mountain climbing crew who will assist with helmets and harnesses before providing a safety clinic.
Adventurers will then climb up to a treetop platform to begin their journey through obstacles like rope spider webs, zip lines, log waves, and more. This is a fun yet exhilarating experience that families and friends will love.
To make your West Mountain experience extra special, consider adding the Mountaintop Picnic Package to your trip and enjoy a relaxing picnic lunch before, during, or after your climb.
