    Kokanee Creek Old Growth Recreation Site protects a rare section of inland temperate rainforest in British Columbia’s Kootenays, where massive western red cedars and hemlocks tower above a forest floor thick with moss, ferns and fallen logs. Some of the cedars along the trail are estimated to be more than 800 years old, with interpretive signs explaining both the ecology of the forest and its logging history. Kokanee Creek flows through the site below steep forested slopes, adding to the cool and sheltered atmosphere beneath the canopy.
