A Magical Forest Experience Cathedral Grove is truly a breathtaking destination. The towering ancient Douglas fir trees create a serene and almost otherworldly atmosphere. Walking through the well-maintained trails, you can feel the history and majesty of this old-growth forest. The trails are easy to navigate, making it accessible for all ages, and there are plenty of spots to pause and take in the natural beauty. The light filtering through the canopy creates a magical effect, perfect for photography or just quiet reflection. Parking can get a little crowded during peak hours, so arriving early is a good idea. But once you're there, the peace and beauty of the grove make it well worth the visit. This is a must-see spot for nature lovers and anyone visiting Vancouver Island.
A walk through an incredible forest 🌳 A dream for any nature enthusiast, this place won’t disappoint. A wonderful place to check out large tall trees, vegetation, moss, and mushrooms 🍄. The place is accessible with outhouses and a nice board walk. Do be careful as the board walk is slippery when it’s wet, so walking with crutches or canes might be a challenge. Great they put this in place, as it’s an easy way to check out an amazing forest without needing to take a lot of time, however you will want to spend a lot of time here as it’s quite surreal to be there. Definitely worth the stop to check out
Stunning place!!! It’s feels unreal! Not hike but a simple walk, though right now is rainy season so I highly recommend waterproof shoes as there are many puddles and it’s muddy. Highly recommend to stop here! It’s just by the highway and there’s quite a bit of parking too
This is a must see for any large tree lovers. There are two sides to the park, separated by a highway. The whole area between the two parks is a pedestrian crossing, technically, but one must be super cautious as not every car knows that (despite the many signs and flashing lights 🤪). The side with the bathrooms has a wide, level wooden path that makes it accessible for all. The other side is more gravel and less even but still very accessible - just something to be mindful of if you’re walking with a cane, or using a wheelchair. This is a lovely space to just take it all in, slow down, and be in awe.
Both trails A and B were stunning, easy walking trails. We took our time going through the trails, so we were there maybe 1 1/ 2 hours. Both were picturesque trails with the fresh smell of a true forest trail. Some of the trees were giant - approximately 9m wide! It felt surreal being amongst them when trees are being torn down all around us to build subdivisions and 33-floor apartment buildings. It truly is astonishing to experience!
