We took a tour of the Canopy Walk and Emergent Tower and both were fantastic.

The Tower is quite high and affords a view for miles all around, including a glimpse of the Lake. Looking down on all the tops of so many oaks (and pines, but mostly oaks), one get a small sense of what Bilbo might have felt, peeking out above Mirkwood.

The Canopy Walk is likewise a treasure. All too often we interact with trees near ground level but this Walk brings you up a good bit and into the higher branches, a unique experience, invading the squirrel's domain.
