The fascination of this section of the Cowichan Valley Trail has the same root in both positive and negative: You really drive right through the jungle. It is also rather dark during the day because of the closed canopy, everywhere there are wonderful mosses hanging from the trees, which are old and impressive. The path is very jerky and muddy from time to time. A great experience - but those who are afraid of the wildlife (which you will probably not see too often because of the jerky wheel) or a ghost forest, should rather choose the detour on the road.

Good description of "wannabe mountain goat". Complemental description: In June 2017 the trail was almost overgrown in places. I had to split the branches with my head bowed because I needed both hands on the handlebars. Accordingly, camping is not possible. The rainforest is so dense, you can't find a square meter for the tent. An experience that I don't want to miss !!! I don't know where there is such a thing in Europe. Pay attention to provisions, the nearest supermarket and campsite in Cowichan Lake. In this section you should be able to fix a breakdown on the bike yourself. Mobile network mostly not available (June 2017).
