Carmanah Walbran Provincial Park
At home during my early years, my parents had a poster in the basement. The poster was simply an image of a person gazing at an array of massive old growth trees with a white border and text beneath reading, “Big Trees not Big Stumps.” As a child, I was absorbed by the image and often found myself staring, imagination running wild.It wasn't until I read Big Lonely Doug" nearly two decades later that I found the location of the photo- Carmanah.Carmanah Walbran is not easy to get to. Although Victoria is physically quite close to Carmanah at only 188km

Some truly impressive old growth forest, featuring the breathtaking Heaven Tree. It truly feels like stepping far, far back in time.Visitors take heed - some sections of the boardwalk are not in great shape, so it could be a bit challenging here and there if you are disabled or have mobility issues. Not wheelchair accessible.

There’s nothing quite like hiking in an old-growth forest - it’s simply magical! The unmaintained trails are in rough shape but manageable (leave your dog(s) at home for this one) and well worth it. Highly recommend!

Beautiful and impressive. Bumpy road. Decaying boardwalks.

Most amazing old growth forest experience. Well worth the drive. The last 20 minutes of the drive was very bumpy... it wasn't too bad until you pass the last clear cutting site. Thanks to the massive ancient trees being saved in 1993 I will be back every year to explore more of this pristine ecosystem.

Some of the most spectacular and magnificient old grooves of temperate rainforest, sadly surrounded by clearcutting areas

It was a rough road and seemed to take a long time but it was well worth it.

Be prepared. Know what youre doing. It is some tough trails past the first couple kilometers. Beautiful park, real touch of the coast without all the people and the wait time for the west coast trail.

Slightly terrifying drive, take it slow and enjoy the scenery. Such a magical park. Beautiful trees, feels like stepping into a lost world. Peaceful remote solitude.
