Additional Information
All participants must weigh between 70 and 250 pounds. This is a very strict policy and all guests are discreetly weighed at check-in. Guests who do not meet these weight requirements will not be able to participate and are not eligible for a refund.
Minors (under 18) that meet the weight requirements and have a waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian may participate, however, they must be accompanied by a responsible adult (18 or over). The responsible adult does not have to participate with the minors but is required to remain on the premises while the minors are on the tour, which takes approximately 3.5 hours to complete.
Comfortable, closed toed shoes are required. If you are not wearing closed toed shoes, we cannot allow you to participate. We do rent shoes at additional costs, but will depend on availability. Please dress appropriately for the weather. We suggest you dress as if going for a hike.
Does everyone in your party weigh between 70 and 250 lbs and do you understand you will not receive a refund if they are outside of these limits when they check in?
Cancellation policy
If you need to cancel or modify your reservation, you are required to notify us 72 hours / 3 days prior to your scheduled tour.
Know before you go
ARRIVAL
Our tours begin at the scheduled tour time. We recommend guests arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled tour time in order to allow for parking, checking in, etc. If you are running late, we will do our best to accommodate you on another trip that same day, if we have availability. No refunds will be issued to late arrivals – if you fail to show up for your trip on time, we still incur the same costs and may have turned others away.
WHAT TO WEAR
Our tours operate rain or shine and regardless of temperature. Check the local weather before you come (zip code 28773). Please wear appropriate clothing for the conditions. Close-toed footwear that is suitable for hiking on variable terrain is required. No crocs or slingbacks are allowed. Avoid wearing loose clothing, such as ponchos, scarves, and excessively baggy clothing. Short shorts are not recommended. Due to the nature of the tour, we recommend that participants leave valuables such as jewelry and cell phones behind, stored in a safe place (so do plan ahead).
CAMERAS & PHONES
Cameras and phones are not permitted on the trip due to the liklihood that they will be dropped and/or broken, as well as as a courtesy to other guests. Our guides do take photos during your tour, and these are available for purchase both prior to your tour (online) or after your tour (in the Outpost).
WEATHER CONDITIONS
Our canopy tours run rain or shine, in all weather conditions, unless extreme winds or lightning interfere with operational safety. The Course Manager on duty will determine tour cancellations, and guests may be notified at any time regarding cancellation. In the event that your tour is cancelled by The Gorge, you will receive a full refund or rain check voucher depending on the circumstances. We reserve the right to postpone (or pause) a tour for up to one hour to wait out inclement weather and then resume normal operations.
RESTROOMS
Participants should be comfortable without access to restroom facilities for over 3 hours. Restrooms are available at our outpost and at the pick up point at the end of your tour.
A NOTE ABOUT CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY:
All participants are required to:
