[[Category:Guides]][[Category:Activity]]The Williams campus has many lovely trees which are great for climbing, if you like that sort of thing. Here are some favorites of the Williams tree-climbing community.Trees also make for great [[hammock spots]]. {{#display_map:42.712501,-73.202194~Magnolia beside [[Thompson Chapel]];42.711618,-73.205112~Sugar maple in front of the physics building;42.711658,-73.205380~Red maple in front of the chem/computer science building;42.712225,-73.205305~Sugar maple in front of West;|width=400|height=300|zoom=16}}

coming out of the physics building and watch them turn about in
bewilderment trying to find the source of the voice. However, in the

hide, if that's what you want to do.
== American beech on path from Stetson to Mission (or from Bernhard to [[DoddHouse|Dodd]]) ==
This tree, east of the temporary mailroom, is perfect for mulitple arborealists; its many accessible branches are kind even to inexperienced climbers.
== American beech in [[Forest Garden]] (between [[Stetson]] and [[CES]])==
You'll need a boost up to the first branch, but after that it's lots of comfy crotches and sturdy limbs. Depending on the season, there may even be fresh berries or other goodies to snack on growing in the gardens below.
== Oak near "Climb high" gate ==
== Maple just off path between Sawyer and Hopkins ==
This is a small tree and some may have trouble getting into it, but once in you can go quite high. You can't really sit in it, but it's fun to surprise people passing below you.
