The tree is taller than the Leaning Tower of Pisa and about 800 years old. ...

The largest tree in MacMillan Park, "The Big Tree" - a Douglas fir, stands in the Cathedral Grove south of the road. Its name comes from the botanist David Douglas, who identified more than 200 new plant species in the early 19th century, including the Douglas fir. (May 19, 2025)

A short drive from Port Alberni lies MacMillan Park, directly off Highway 4. The park features the Cathedral Grove, a stand of giant Douglas firs; some trees are over 800 years old. North of the road are ancient Western Red Cedar trees. A severe storm in late 1997 severely damaged the stand. (May 19, 2025) https://bcparks.ca/macmillan-park/

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. https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/bc/pacificrim/activ/randonnee-hiking

Botanical Beach is famous for its diverse and colorful sandstone tide pools, home to numerous marine creatures and plants. The beach is the western terminus of the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail, a popular multi-day hiking route. Unique rock formations are found along the coast. In the first half of the 20th century, a marine research station for university education was located here. The station no longer exists and has been overgrown by forest. However, it established the area's reputation for botanical research. https://coastview.org/2024/11/26/botanical-beach-botany-bay/

located in MacMillan Provincial Park at the West end of Cameron Lake, Cathedral Grove is the only highway accessible stand of ancient Douglas Fir forest on Vancouver Island.

Very nice way

The biggest tree here doesn't even stand out: all the other trees are just as big 😉 As a human, you feel pretty small...
