INTRODUCTION
This two-acre play area contains a variety of
wilderness-themed adventure activities that both kids and
adults will enjoy.
ATTRACTION
Redwood Creek Challenge Trail is located on the edge of
Disney's California Adventure in the Grizzly Peak Recreation
area. This is a large area that includes lookout towers,
bridges, and other wilderness-themed. There are multiple levels to
explore. Guests can participate in a number of obstacle
course-type activities at locations along the series of
trails, including rock-climbing, traversing rope bridges,
and exploring caves. There are slides, tunnels and even
a zip-line-like cable swing to play on. Along the trails there
are some educational opportunities as well, such as learning
to identify animal footprints.
A map of the entire area is posted at the entrance. You can see
a photo of it HERE.
Activities include:
Big Sir - walk-through redwood tree
Millennium Tree - cross-section of a tree that fell in a
storm in 1937. Some of the rings of the tree are marked with the
dates of significant events in California history.
Redwood Creek - bridge crosses a creek and small
waterfall
Wawona Walk - signs along the path identify the
footprints of the animals whose footprints can be seen in the
path.
Mt. Whitney Lookout - climb the steps to the top of the
tower, which connects via a suspended rope bridge to the
Mt. Shasta Lookout.
Cliff Hanger Traverse Rock Climb - hone your rock-climbing
skills as you use the foot and toe holds to traverse the rock
wall.
Rock Slide - two slides down through the rocks

tall).
Hoot-n-Holler Logs - slide down through a tree log
Shake-a-Log - crawl through a swinging, bouncing
log
Pine Peril Bridge - this narrow log bridge crosses a
stream

TOURING
TIPS
This is a wonderful interactive playground, particularly for
kids who have excess energy to burn off. The wide
range of activities has something to appeal to those of almost
all ages and abilities,
whether it's a peaceful walk along the trails while
enjoying the plants and trees, or something more challenging
like climbing a rock wall or scrambling across rope
bridges.
The attraction is usually not crowded, but is busiest in the
afternoon. There is often a short wait for the Sequoia
Smokejumpers swing.
Many of the paths and trails are accessible by
wheelchairs/ECVs, but the "challenges" require guests to be
amublatory.
Some of the challenges, particularly Sequoia Smokejumpers, have
height and/or weight restrictions.
While the paths are paved, the ground in the play areas is
covered by a spongey recycled rubber surface.
Restrooms are located outside the attraction at the
edge of the San Francisco street.
KIDS
AND CHARACTERS
There are activities here which should appeal to kids of all
ages and abilities. Young children should be accompanied by
an adult.
Koda and Kenai are available for Meet and Greets after
the Brother Bear Show - check the daily Times Guide for show
times.
DINING
Taste Pilot's
Grill, located in Condor Flats offers specialty
burgers, ribs and salads.
