Cathedral Grove, located in MacMillan Provincial Park on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The park is home to a spectacular old-growth forest that features giant Douglas fir and western red cedar trees, some of which are over 800 years old. The hiking trails in the park are well-maintained and suitable for hikers of all skill levels, making Cathedral Grove a great place to explore for families and solo hikers alike.

One of the most popular hiking trails in Cathedral Grove is the Tree Trail, a short loop trail that takes hikers on a scenic journey through the forest. The trail is just under a kilometer in length and is wheelchair accessible, making it a great option for those with mobility concerns. The Tree Trail features interpretive signs along the way, providing information about the flora and fauna in the forest, as well as the cultural history of the area.

For those looking for a longer hike, the park also features several longer trails that can take hikers through more of the beautiful old-growth forest. The Upper Grove Trail is a 3.5-kilometer loop that takes hikers through some of the more remote areas of the forest, and features stunning views of Cameron Lake. The Lower Grove Trail is a shorter 1.5-kilometer loop that takes hikers through the heart of the old-growth forest, offering up-close views of the towering trees and the unique flora and fauna that call the forest home.
