RVs and buses are not permitted at the small parking lot on either of the rainforest trails. So, we walk from the Combers Beach parking lot along the ʔapsčiik t̓ašii to the trailhead; the paved pedestrian/bicycle path runs parallel to the highway.
Rainforest Trail A is located north of the Pacific Rim Highway, while Trail B is south of the road at the parking lot. Both routes lead approximately 1,200 meters through a breathtaking forest of giant Western Red Cedar and Western Hemlock trees. The trails are constructed almost entirely of wooden boardwalks with numerous stairs and bridges, some of which are made from whole tree trunks. Walking through the forests is a beautiful experience.

If you want to experience a rainforest for a short distance, the Rainforest Trail is the right place for you.

A rewarding short hike through the Rainforest. The loop is divided into two sections, Loop A and Loop B, one on each side of the Hwy.
