You climb into an ATV, the engine murmuring like a patient animal, and the rainforest opens up: cedar and hemlock trunks rise wet and dark, the ocean and distant mountains peeking through breaks in the canopy. The course sits on roughly 100 acres of coastal temperate rainforest above Victoria, where eight ziplines and a 100-foot suspension bridge thread through the treetops and drop you into panoramic views between runs.
