Not many people are aware that Ohio is home to an incredible canopy walk. It's a breathtakingly beautiful experience---unless you're absolutely terrified of heights, that is. The Judith and Maynard H. Murch Canopy Walk at Holden Arboretum in Kirtland is a canopy walk in Ohio that features a 500 ft. long elevated walkway suspended 65 ft. above the forest floor. As we looked out at the truly unique perspective of the forest and the animals that live among the trees, we gained a new appreciation for the wonders of Ohio. This is a wonderful way to spend a day exploring the outdoors from a vantage point we don’t normally get to see.
As a bonus, there's an observation tower on site that took us up even further - so much further that we ended up above the trees. The views from this perch offer jaw-dropping sights that will stay in your memories forever!
