If you’re an adrenaline junkie, the Flagstaff Extreme Adventure Course (FEAC) will be heaven for you. In Fort Tuthill County Park, FEAC has zip lines, suspended bridges, obstacles, and more, all zigzagging among the Flagstaff evergreens.
When you first arrive, you’ll get a crash course on safety, the ins and outs of the course you’ve signed up for, and you’ll be outfitted in a harness that fits your body size. The major takeaway from the safety course is you ALWAYS must have at least one of your two carabiners attached to the obstacles. If that means you are climbing a rope ladder, then, yep — one carabiner on, the next one attached to the rung above, and so on. It can slow you down, but it is essential for your safety while playing on the obstacle course, especially with obstacles as high as 80 feet.

There are packages for different age groups as low as seven years old, but we did the Adventure Course for my group, which is about $58 per person. From the start, the course is pretty linear — you line up with your group and climb up and over different obstacles together one after the other. Pro-tip: try to line up from the most experienced/fastest climber to the slowest. It works best if a less experienced climber isn’t getting in the way of someone hot on their heels.

The obstacle course ramps up from easy, to medium, to complex, to whoa, this is impossible, and I’m 80 feet off the ground 😱 . It can sometimes feel pretty scary and death-defying, even though you have no danger of falling — that’s what your harness is for! Nevertheless, your lizard brain can quickly forget about this safety measure, and you’ll find yourself gripping onto the ropes for dear life.
This place was one of the most fun outings I have had while living in Arizona. If you love adventure, adrenaline spiking, and hanging outdoors with adventure-loving friends, this is your place. Happy adventuring!

Sitting in my office in Chandler, Arizona, in an area commonly called Ocotillo, I can sometimes glimpse the most unlikely bird I ever thought I would see.
