Scared of heights? Then this adventure may not be for you. But if you’re ready to face your fears, Dorion Tower in Ontario is a great place to start. This soaring summit can be climbed right up to the top and no previous rock climbing experience is required. Get the best panoramic views around.

It is nowhere close to Toronto but if you’re near the Thunder Bay area, pay the Dorion Tower a visit.

Your adventure starts with Outdoor Skills And Thrills. They will provide you with all of the equipment, support, and instruction that you need for this thrilling climb.

Getting to Dorion Tower is an adventure in itself. You’ll need a high-clearance vehicle to make your way into the parking area as the terrain is rough, and the hike to the tower has lots of hills and boulders to navigate.

And according to Outdoor Skills And Thrills, the satisfying feeling you get after completing the excursion is totally worth it.

Superior County states that the tower stands over 20 meters high. As for the climb itself, previous climbing skill is definitely an advantage but not required, as it is beginner-friendly in terms of skill level.

You may not get to the top, but Arc Fishman has been safely guiding people up and down the tower for almost a decade now, so you’re in good hands.

In fact, climbers have been enjoying the view from the top of this iconic pinnacle for over 30 years. If they can do it, so can you!

“The hike in and hike back out are not easy going, many hills and boulders to navigate, quite technical in sections, and has even been described by some as being more challenging than climbing up the tower itself,” shares organizers.

The excursion takes anywhere from six to eight hours to complete, and you can sign up for one of the public sessions here when available, or book it as a private experience.

Now what are you waiting for? Plan your next trip ASAP!
