His arms were shaking with fear, heart pounding out of his chest, he told me over and over that he was scared, but he didn't quit. Facing challenge after challenge at 150 feet in the air, my knees were shaking too, but I couldn’t let it show. As my son grabbed for that last hanging log and got his feet securely on the platform his face lit up with excitement over his accomplishment at the high ropes course at Epic Discovery.
Heavenly at South Lake Tahoe provides the ultimate summer playground for families! Your adventure begins with the Gondola ride to the top of the mountain, with beautiful views of the lake that you can’t get anywhere else. When you arrive at the top, the kids won’t even know where to start with the amount of activities available, from zip lines and rock climbing to high ropes courses and summer tubing!
My youngest adventurer is just 5 years old, and he was just big enough for all of the activities, and he tackled each obstacle with courage. Screaming with excitement as he flew across the zip line, braving his fears as he climbed the rock wall, enjoying the wind in his face as he slid down the tube run and beaming with pride when he completed the ropes course. Watching my son tackle all of these activities created life long memories that I will always treasure!
Adults will need to purchase an Ultimate Adventure Pass and kids 8 and under can get a Little Explorer Pass (we had the Ultimate Adventure Pass for our kids ages 8 and 5 so that they could do the big tubing hills and the more challenging ropes course). The Ultimate Adventure Pass includes: tubing, Boulder Cover Ropes Course, Granite Peak Climbing Wall, Red Tail Zip Line and Bear Cup Ropes Course and the Gondola Ride. The Little Explorer Pass is for kids 8 and under and includes: Red Tail Zip Line, Granite Peak Climbing Wall, Bear Cub Ropes Course and the gondola ride.
This adventure can easily be done in a day trip to South Lake Tahoe, or make an overnight trip out of it and enjoy other adventures that the area has to offer. Check out their website before you go and confirm the availability of the activities. Have fun discovering what makes summer at Heavenly Mountain Resort so special and creating life long memories with your family!
