Of this one, too, I approve. I approve of it so much that I’ll give the corporate advertising link .

Redwood Creek Challenge Trail is in the California Adventure park. The idea is that the visitor is in a national forest in the Sierra and is either training to become a firefighter or ranger or is just goofing around in the woods—it’s not clear to me, and it doesn’t matter. You climb through a kind of Habitrail maze made of netting, higher and higher; the netting hangs between towers that are designed to look like fire lookouts. Parents chug along behind children on the uncertain netting. Children fall on the netting, to no bad effect, and the younger ones get their shoes caught. One mom had to try to fish her four-year-old’s shoe out from underneath the netting, and got lucky when another adventurer proved to have a hand and wrist thin enough for the task. The more mayhem I saw, the more I approved. The kids were all delighted.
