naysayers who said the project was overly ambitious, but Keshia said her family is defined by rising to the oc- casion.
“I said, ‘you don’t know our family. We are going to make this happen,’” she said. “Now people come visit and are blown away.”
The aerial adventure park is distinct from Glacier Zipline Adventures located east of Columbia Falls, as well as from Whitefish Mountain Resort’s aerial ad- venture park, both of which Keshia described as com- plementary to her family’s new park.
Using a hub-and-spoke design, visitors can begin at the nucleus of the adventure park and work their way through the course at their own pace, and choosing the activities that best fit their skill and comfort level.
She said while the activities challenge users of all levels, it is a family-friendly experience, with room to expand in the future and build as many as 29 additional activities.
All users are outfitted with a special harness and attend a 30-minute training session before challenging themselves by maneuvering from platform to platform in the trees via horizontal and vertical elements.
“We are a family of doers, and it’s been really fun to watch people enjoy something that we have poured our hearts into,” she said.
The family’s property abuts U.S. Highway 2, and the aerial adventure park is located right in Coram, across from the Stonefly Lounge.
Based on the family’s background in vacation rent- als, they know how to capitalize on the influx of visi- tors during the summer busy season, but they’re most excited to become part of the canyon’s increasingly vi- brant business community, which includes plenty of whitewater rafting, fly fishing, hiking, and other guid- ed tours.
“This is our home, and we are definitely excited to become a new aspect in the tourism industry in the canyon, but also to add something new to our commu-
nity,” she said.
Located at 10167 Highway 2 East in Coram, Glacier
Highline offers 29 activities. The cost for adults and children 13 years or older is $45 for two hours, not in- cluding the training, and $35 for children 9-12.
The aerial adventure park takes walk-ins and reser- vations. To learn more, check out Glacier Highline on- line at www.glacierhighline.com, or call (406) 387-5007.
