Apparently this old growth red cedar measures forty feet around and has been dubbed “Canada’s gnarliest tree”. Whether it is or not, isn’t important. What’s important is the experience you have wandering around in an old growth forest.

Apparently this old growth red cedar measures forty feet around and has been dubbed “Canada’s gnarliest tree”. Whether it is or not, isn’t important. What’s important is the experience you have wandering around in an old growth forest.
Gnarly indeed. It looks otherworldly. And I can’t help but notice the steepness of the slope.
It is indeed a slope up to the big tree. Because you pass so many other giant firs, hemlocks and cedars, cross a lovely small stream and hear the sounds of a temperate rain forest, you feel it’s worth the trek.
