OUR STORY
THE BEGINNING…
Located 23 km west of the mountain city of Revelstoke lies one of western Canada’s most famous attractions: The Enchanted Forest. A stroll through this magnificent forest will lead visitors through a hand-built fairy tale wonderland, an educational nature walk and a chance to climb up BC’s tallest treehouse!
Created through the dreams, imagination and hard work of Rocky & Juliet Ehlers, Proprietors, the forest is never the same from one visit to the next. New castles, bridges, creatures, heroes and villains surprise patrons at every turn.
Upon completion of BC’s tallest tree house, Rocky found himself amongst the treetops with an incredible view of the surrounding forest; instantly born was his next and most exciting British Columbia attraction which would enable patrons to soar through and climb amongst the trees in an adrenaline filled, heart-pounding new perspective of the entire forest.
He started researching canopy walks, ziplines and other means of tree-top adventures and came across Prisme – a Quebec based Engineering Company with roots in France. Prisme has a great reputation and years of experience in the creation of sky courses (a.k.a. High Ropes Challenge Courses).
Rocky Ehlers hired Veronika Stevenson who was trained and experience Adventure Parks operation in Europe. Stevenson was involved in the original planning of the Park and encouraged the owners to expend the park for Kids Jungle Gym and The Adventure Tower.

PICTURE THIS!
