Canopy Walk opened two months ago in Blacklick Metro Park. It is so new none of our Columbus friends and family have been to it. Laura invited us to check it out with her. Described as a "gateway to the sky," it is a loop through the trees. To get to the birds' eye view, you first climb 72 stairs on a zigzagging staircase. If that is too intimidating, you can take the elevator. Looking at it from the ground, the three of us immediately thought of the structures of classic wooden roller coasters. The wooden structure is shiny and sound. The only time we felt a wobble was as we crossed the narrow suspension bridge.
I didn't note the hours, but I bet it would be magical at dusk as the birds come out of hiding for the night. We didn't notice any from up high. Afterwards we walked along the trails, one of which gave us a chance to study the structure from behind it.
It is a unique addition to their wonderful park system.
Enjoy the pictures. Some are mine, some from Don, and some from Laura.
It was a beautiful day to be outside.
