Cathedral Grove is a magical forest on Vancouver Island with ancient Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar trees that are 800 hundred years old.

It's like stepping into a scene from Star Wars, with massive trees towering overhead and a peaceful vibe that makes you feel tiny in comparison.

The park has easy trails, pit toilets, and information signs, making it a great spot for a quick pit stop or a leisurely stroll to soak up the beauty of nature.

Don't forget to check out the Giant Douglas Fir tree on the Big Tree Trail – it's a must-see!
