For many of us, one of our favorite parts about living in New York is that we have access to so many different kinds of amazing outdoor adventures. If you’re itching to get outside and above the ground but want to experience something more than your average hike, then heading to this one mountain adventure in the treetops might be the perfect day trip for you. Come and see what’s hiding in the forests of the Capital Region!
Out in Schenectady at the top of a 1,000-foot-tall mountain where you’re just over a half-hour away from both Albany and Saratoga Springs, Mountain Ridge Adventure is the ultimate outdoor playground.

Visitors can choose to either purchase a Treetop Pass that gives them 3-hours to explore any and all of the treetop courses as many times as they want in that time period, with a 2-hour Zipline Park Pass also available.

Adventurers of the park can choose to repeatedly explore the same course the whole time they’re here.
