We took the tram tour. JR was our guide. He did a great job and it was a lovely 2 hour tour of the land. Highly recommend. I would like to do a bike tour also but another day for that. You can grab drinks for the tour and it stops twice for sightseeing and picture ops are everywhere.

We signed up for the tram tour. What a wonderful two hours we spent viewing waterfalls, trout swimming, seeing bison, elk and long horned cattle! We traveled in a tram with our guide Debbee who was very knowledgeable and fun to be with! There is a nice cafe, nature center, old water wheel and treehouse. There is a fee to enter and reservations are required for the tours. Both can be purchased online. Again Bebbee was outstanding!

Dogwood Canyon is an amazing choice for a nature outing. Two of us went horseback riding and the other two went on the tram tour. We very much recommend the tram to see all the gorgeous waterfalls and wildlife. Our daughter loved the horseback riding but note that you don’t see as much of the park that way. We enjoyed the educational room and finished our day with a bison burger and elk soup lunch. So delicious! All the staff were very friendly. We had Joe as our tour guide and he was very engaging and shared a-lot of interesting stories. Only one improveable to note - the first person who greeted us at the entrance was very abrupt and spoke so quick that we had no idea what she was saying. She moved us along so quickly we ended up asking another attendee for some direction. Such a minor thing when everything else was fantoastic!

This was an amazing experience! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This is our new happy place! Dogwood Canyon Nature Park is gorgeous, amazing, peaceful, and managed by so many wonderful and kind people! Highly recommend the tram which was a great way to see the entire park, including baby buffalo, with my 85-year old mom. Barry was our tour guide and so incredibly kind, funny, insightful, and we learned so much! How incredible! We will definitely be going again, hopefully this fall as each season is a different experience! Thank you to the Park team! Beth, Barry, Stephanie, and all!!!!
