The Birth of Stoney Creek Canopy Adventures

In the summer of 2013, Stoney Creek LLC owner Mark Wildermuth purchased a large tract of land about five miles north of Seward, Alaska. The vision? Developing a canopy tour of the forest, offering unparalleled views of the Alaska landscape and surrounding mountains.

We invite you to join us in a great Alaska eco-adventure like no other. This unique outdoor experience involves being securely clipped into gear and traversing from one treetop platform to another through the beautiful Pacific Temperate Rainforest, building on anticipation and suspense, surprise and discovery. The tour will be exciting, as well as informative about the surrounding area.

As an aerial adventure neighboring the Chugach National Forest, our roots are in the trees. So we have committed ourselves to being sustainable and eco-friendly to honor our Earth. From the design and construction of our course we have kept the preservation and conservation of the spruce giants on our course alive and well. We built our course around nature and we are proud to say that no trees were cut down in the construction of our course. Many people do not understand the importance of sustaining our land for future generations so we have taken it upon ourselves to educate our guides to be environmentally aware especially on the wildlife and flora on our 80 acres. Our guides take their time to inform our guests on the irreplaceable nature of the environment educating them on the immediate flora and fauna on each eco-platform.
