The Canopy Walk at Kakun National Park

We left early yesterday morning to take a five hour drive to the Elmina Slave Castle and to visit Kakun National Park. First Kakun is a national rain-forest and is the home of different wildlife including leopards, elephants, and all kinds of mammals, birds, and insects. The Canopy Walk is the highlight for many visitors. Visitors can walk on this series of 7 bridges which is 130 feet high above the rain forest and 1080 wide. If you are afraid of heights it might not be for you--but we decided to be brave and try it. As you walk the bridge sways from side to side but they said that no one has fallen in 80 years since it was built. They even sell t-shirts which say that you survived the canopy walk. It was truly an amazing experience but I would have to ponder if I would do it again (smile). We have posted pictures of our adventures on this journey.
