Logan, Ohio – Due to the incredible response from visitors during its first season, Hocking Hills Canopy Tours has extended the season, offering the only experience of its kind anywhere in the Midwest.  Previously expected to end the 2008 season on November 1, Hocking Hills Canopy Tours has extended its season, offering daily tours through October 30, adding weekend tours on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays November 1-30, 2008.  Hocking Hills Canopy Tour will reopen April 1 for the 2009 season. Reservations are required and are available at www.hockinghilllscanopytours.com or (740) 385-9477.

 

 

Located in southeast Ohio’s spectacular Hocking Hills, Hocking Hills Canopy Tour offers a bird’s-eye view of some of North America’s most magnificent scenery.  Ten distinctive ziplines, four adventure sky bridges and a final rappel that takes guests back to ground level provide amazing views from treetop observation platforms.  Built and certified to meet all Association for Challenge Course Technology (ACCT) standards, Hocking Hills Canopy Tours educates visitors on area flora and fauna, while ensuring guest safety as they soar from zero to 70 feet above the ground at up to 60 mph. 

 

“Hocking Hills Canopy Tours have rapidly risen to become one of Ohio’s most unforgettable and popular visitor experiences.  They have dramatically added to the already incredible experiences that Hocking Hills visitors can enjoy,” said Karen Raymore, CDME, Hocking Hills Tourism Association Executive Director.  “Tours have operated at a nearly sold-out capacity, seven days a week from dawn until dusk from the day they opened in early April.”
