★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Spectacular place to see, and the freedom and history The land gives off is absolutely raw, tranquil, spiritual, and just melts away any stress and a connection that moved through my body like an electrical current! Beautiful, breath taking, wonderful, mysterious, all of that and more! And how many millenia its been there unchanged....WOAH!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Slightly terrifying drive, take it slow and enjoy the scenery. Such a magical park. Beautiful trees, feels like stepping into a lost world. Peaceful remote solitude.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ At home during my early years, my parents had a poster in the basement. The poster was simply an image of a person gazing at an array of massive old growth trees with a white border and text beneath reading, “Big Trees not Big Stumps.” As a child, I was absorbed by the image and often found myself staring, imagination running wild.
It wasn't until I read "Big Lonely Doug" nearly two decades later that I found the location of the photo- Carmanah.
Carmanah Walbran is not easy to get to. Although Victoria is physically quite close to Carmanah at only 188km, which I would equate in my Ontario mind as a standard trip to the cottage, what Google Maps does not advertise is logging roads, elevation gains with steep switchbacks, and poor (if existent) signage. This should not be a day trip from Victoria; I would strongly recommend coming prepared to camp.
Carmanah is, however, the most stunning park I have ever stepped in. The path North is growing in and decaying thanks to funding cuts to BC parks, but that means Carmanah truly feels Jurassic and (relatively) unmolested by humanity. You will have an awe-inspiring adventure among Canada's tallest trees. The Scale just doesn't translate in photos. It's the park I have always wanted to go to since I was a child and it was completely worth the trip!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There’s nothing quite like hiking in an old-growth forest - it’s simply magical! The unmaintained trails are in rough shape but manageable (leave your dog(s) at home for this one) and well worth it. Highly recommend!
