Rain Forest Aerial Tram - Text and Photos by Jack Yeazel

 "DEEP- CANyon" is where GPS signals couldn't be received on a fairly treacherous road across the Continental Divide.

General:
The tram cable rollers are spaced at two levels on the towers which were installed from helicopters so as not to  disturb the plants around them.  On the ride out, the tram travels near the forest floor for a good view of the plants and (sometimes) animals.  The light on the forest floor is so dim, it's hard to take photographs.  The trip back is at a much higher level where we mostly traveled along the forest canopy.   At the end of the tram ride, we had a nice lunch and then took a hike through part of the rain forest for some interesting sights.
