The Ancient Forest is a great park. It's pretty special to be able to explore an old growth Redwood forest this far inland. I read it's the only one in the world of that type that's not on a coast. We drove from Prince George just to do the hike and it was worth the trip. The trail is a wood boardwalk. Part of it is fully accessible. I can't imagine how many person hours it would take to build a boardwalk that winds through a forest and is so long that it takes an hour just to hike it. Tip: This place is like a rainforest. It was clear and sunny in Prince George but raining at the site. Bring rain gear.

This is an amazing place. From the parking area it is hard to imagine what you will see. The pathway is a bit of an uphill hike but the boardwalk area that protects the ground foliage is easy to walk on. It can be a bit narrow if others are coming towards you. The history of the area is interesting and the trees rival the Sequoias in height. Mosquitoes were not an issue when we visited in the middle of August but it was hot and humid. It is well worth the stop and completing the almost 2 mile loop hike to see it all.

My 82 year old grandfather and I did the hike yesterday. It was very beautiful and peaceful, to hear nothing but the trees creaking, the water flowing from the creek and the birds chirping around us it definitely reminds you to stop and slow down. The sky opened up on us just as we were coming down from the waterfall. Thank goodness for the shingles on the wooden planks or else we would've been slipping and sliding our way down the mountain. I can't wait to come here again.

Awe inspiring old growth forest of Western Red Cedar. This is an inland rain forest, rarer than the coastal old growth rain forests. The trees don't grow as tall but they are just as old. Several were over 1000 years old!

The history they have seen!

The park has been made wheel chair accessable for the first part of the walk in.

The rest of the hike up to the long waterfall is on boardwalk as well - created by dedicated volunteers this boardwalk takes up, up the side of the mountain,...

Wow, can you imagine seeing ancient trees that are 2000 years old!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the cedar circle best (look up at the sky through big cedar trees) it's the magic of the Nature, God's wonderful Creation. Secondly the lichens with different colors! Everything is just awesome, the wood bridges, even little girls helped build them, super nice, the wood paths, so good, great work, you can simply follow the paths to all places you must visit: the waterfall, Big Tree etc. and you don't have...

I had to stop to put on the rain gear. If you are on a motorcycle this parking lot is gravel and a little rough going in. Manageable just a little rough. It was a very peaceful break. Very quiet and just the smell of forest and the rain. Next time through I will be sure to allocate time for going for a walk. I didn't go for a hike but I did use the one of two outhouses. It was clean and maintained. The other was boarded up. September 21st visit update: Good news, the door is on and the...
