More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the winding coastal road into humid, green air—the forest seems to inhale and exhale around you as the aerial tram lifts away from the clearing. Below, the canopy narrows into tunnels of leaves; ahead, platforms and cables stitch together a zipline course that threads the tops of the trees.
