This is one of the best wild walking trails on Vancouver Island. The trail is in two parts; The Ancient Cedars Loop Trail in North Ucluelet, and The Ucluelet Lighthouse Loop in the south. The latter starts near the southern end of Peninsula Road, and covers a circular path called the Lighthouse Loop. The lighthouse is located at the Amphitrite Point. The length of the circular trail is about 2.6 km and it is a largely flat trail without too many undulations if you stick to the trail. It is risky to try to go down to the rocky shorelines as the thrashing waves are quite unpredictable. The dense forest had a variety of trees, some tall and straight and some were bent and twisted into weird shapes by the gusty winds from the ocean. There were many protruding viewing points and benches to sit along the trail. The trail has been maintained very well. There are sign boards at regular intervals tracing back the history and culture of the region. We were wondering where a certain plaintive wailing sound was coming from, till we read a sign board explaining that it was the sound from a Whistle Buoy which has guided mariners into Ucluelet harbour, sometimes called 'The Graveyard of the Pacific', in stormy weather since 1905. There is a car park at the start of the trail, and public washrooms near the parking area.
