Upper Avatar Grove is a must-visit spot for nature lovers looking to marvel at Canada's Gnarliest Tree and massive, ancient trees!

The hike, though not too challenging, offers a 500m round trip adventure with a 70-meter elevation gain. As you make your way up the stairs and over slippery roots, you'll be rewarded with a view of the massive Red Cedar boasting a rare 10-foot diameter burl.

This is a protected area where you can stand next to Vancouver Island's famous old growth trees!
