EPIC Discovery is the Heavenly Mountain Resort's mountaintop playground. It can only be accessed via the Heavenly Gondola but offers a day's worth of activities for the entire family.
The EPIC Discovery includes a variety of ropes courses for all levels. Two zip lines are also available to send flyers over the lodge or above the mountains with views of the lake. The latest addition to the EPIC Discovery is the mountain coaster. This wild ride careens riders around the edge of the mountain top and offers excellent views of the lake below. There are also climbing walls, both summer and winter tubing and hiking trails. The Tamarack Lodge is available for barbecue lunch.

- Best for Things to Do with Kids Because: EPIC Discovery has both paid and free activities. Check out the free Animal Abilities interpretive center for younger children.
