This place was out of this world - if you climb the tower, you can literally see all the way to Lake Erie on a clear day, 12 miles away! I felt like Bilbo Baggins climbing up the tallest tree in Mirkwood.

I'd never done anything like this before, and would easily spend the time, effort, and money to go back again. Who doesn't smile continuously when walking on a suspension bridge in the canopy of a mature forest, surrounded by Nature's majesty?

Also, Holden has a reciprocal arrangement with our Franklin Park Conservatory, so getting in with our FPC membership was FREE! What an awesome way to spend the morning. Highly recommended.
