The Adventure Trail has concluded for the 2024 season. We look forward to re-opening in May of 2025.
Strap on a harness and explore the Family-Friendly Adventure Trail, a region of upper Ausable Chasm that is not accessible from any other trail. Crisscross over the raging river on this fully-guided, unique via ferrata that features cable bridges, a cargo net climb, and edge walks. A via ferrata is a protected climbing route characterized by a steel cable that runs along the rock, offering a unique and awe-inspiring journey through the chasm. If you've always wanted to experience rock climbing, but never actually learned to do it, our adventure trail is perfect for you. This activity is always a big hit with groups, even large ones.
