The suspended walkway is reminiscent of a child's jungle gym with a bridge that bounces and sways, but this one is 70 feet from the ground.

The Walk in the Treetops at the Whitefish Mountain Resort is a perfect adventure for those seeking a unique experience with a touch of excitement.

While we don't recommend this excursion for those afraid of heights, the emphasis on safety and the construction of the course itself make the suspended trip across the forest floor just a hair shy of carefree.

And the Walk in the Treetops isn't just about the elevated boardwalk. There is a short hike through the forest and across a stream, with stops along the way to learn more about the area's flora and fauna, as well as a few surprising insights into one of Montana's major industries, timber harvesting.

There is also a self-guided interpretive tour along the boardwalk itself, with a large viewing platform midway for enjoying the sweeping views of the Flathead Valley.

At $54 a ticket the cost may seem a bit tall, but the heights you'll reach are unforgettable, as this adventure is the only walk of its kind in the United States.
