You step off the forest floor and the world shifts—pine trunks reframe the sky and a corridor of cables hums underfoot. At Flagstaff Extreme, the adult course at Historic Fort Tuthill County Park, the trees are more than scenery; they are the structure of the challenge. Early morning light slices through ponderosa needles as participants clip in, test their carabiners, and find the rhythm of moving weight through a suspended world.
