10.8 km. Turn left onto the “Kuskanax Creek Forest Service Road”. Follow this steep, rough, loose surface, high clearance, 2-wheel drive road for
15km. Turn left onto a dirt road, signed “Cedar Grove Trail 0.8 km”

Trail: The loop trail through these giants is easy enough for toddlers through to “opals” – older people with active lifestyles. The height of these western red cedar trees will have you craning your neck as your eyes follow the massive trunks toward the sky. The understorey is dominated by Lady Fern and Devil’s Club.
