Huge trees thrive in the wet Port Renfrew area. Avatar Grove (called T’l’oqwxwat by the Pacheedaht First Nation) is a great place to see some old growth trees.

The Upper Grove Trail (left side, 560m return) is the most popular route as it leads to "Canada's Gnarliest Tree," a cedar with a gargantuan burl (knotty growth). The path is steeper and has multiple sets of stairs.

Avatar Grove is located on Gordon River Road, an unpaved industrial (logging road). It is a 7km detour from Highway 14 and about 15-20 minutes drive from Port Renfrew. Drive very slowly to avoid potholes and give way to industrial traffic.
