We also took a leisurely walk through the trees on the Myakka Canopy Walkway. The entire trail takes about 30 - 40 minutes and of course that means at least 2 hours with a very curious Nasharoo. So we opted for the quick 5 minute walk to the walkway/tower. The walkway/tower was built to study treetops in the forest. The first tower is 35 feet off the ground and the second is 74 feet high, connecting the two towers is an 85 foot long suspended bridge.
Nash was definitely feeling better. He was running around finding sticks and making animals sounds.
Darin LOVES to read everything! Sometimes it is painful. :) Nash loved the signs and took it upon himself to read it to his dad.
Here Nash and I are walking across the suspended bridge. Only 5 people were allowed on at one time. It was pretty wobbly, Nash surprisingly loved the bouncing, as long as he was walking with NO help!
This is the 85 foot tower. It would sway back and forth with all the people walking up and down it as well as with the wind.

We made it to the top! Beautiful view but a little un-nerving with the tower swaying. Such a fun adventure, it reminded us a lot of hiking the Mayan ruins in Tikal, Guatemala....on a smaller scale with a crazy 22 month old!

What a cool experience! Gotta be honest, I'd be a little freaked on that swaying tower... You're brave!
