BEST CANOPY WALK IN THE U.S.:/// Dow Gardens | Whiting Forest | The Tridge: Midland, Michigan
This week we had the coolest adventure ever in Midland, Michigan!
Dow Gardens is beautiful -110 acres of flowers, plants, outdoor children’s activities- it’s super cool and it’s connected to Whiting Forest, home to the longest canopy walk in the United States!!!
The boys did such an awesome job on the canopy walk, but their favorite part was the playground in Whiting forest! It wasn’t just their favorite part of our trip, I would have to say it is their favorite playground they have ever been to! The best part- it totally exhausted them!
We had so much fun at the Gardens too! The children’s garden especially - so much for the kids to do.
Pro tip: make sure you bring an extra outfit - they got drenched!!!
We loved the downtown Midland and we were instructed that we had to check out the Tridge which is a three-way wooden footbridge that marks the start of The Pere Marquette Rail-Trail, an awesome place to bike and hike in Michigan!
We even found the world-famous -Charles W. Howard - Santa Claus School, where Santas from around the world go to learn how to become the big man himself!
Thank you so much for watching our adventure to Midland! If you haven’t already subscribed please consider doing so and ringing that bell!
****And please - comment down below- when is the last time you did something that was outside of your comfort zone?
Have a great week!

TOBOGGAN RUN!!!! Midland Michigan, City Forrest.
Midland Michigan, City Forrest Toboggan Run. 2 opposing runs, double lanes on each run. It is only a short walk from the end of each run to the next tower so not much walking at all or hill climbing to do. The end of the run goes slightly up hill to slow your speed and very close to the next tower to take you back
Rather unique as toboggan runs go.
