Scale the outer limits of Toronto’s CN Tower

While many people find enlightenment through prayer and yoga meditation, others take a more adventurous approach toward achieving their spiritual goals. For a thrilling experience while in Toronto, vacationers should consider a trip to the CN Tower, which is the tallest free-standing structure in the world.

It is certainly a thrilling time ascending the 1,168-foot tower in a mere 58 seconds via elevator, but the excitement does not stop there. Tourists are now offered the chance to scale the outer limits of the building at its highest point by being strapped to a rail via a harness, which allows adrenaline junkies to walk along a five-foot ledge with no railing.

"With our 35th [anniversary] coming up this summer, we thought what a great opportunity to introduce visitors to something new and exciting – and on top of that, extreme," chief operating officer Jack Robinson said to the Globe and Mail.

Those who are a bit skittish about hanging off the top of the CN Tower can still enjoy the sights from above by visiting its observatory, which features a 2.5-inch-thick glass floor that lets travelers see more than 1,000 feet below them.
