Excursion to the Carmanah Valley

The park that protects the Carmanah Valley was born from strife between environmentalists and loggers. It now protects Canada's tallest tree, a 95-meter giant Sitka Spruce. The park is very remote requiring a 2.5 hour drive from Port Alberni over very rough logging roads to get there. So these excursions start early to make the most of the day!

There are well over 16,000 hectares of old growth forest here. Some of the old Cedars are over 1000 years old. And there are many giant Sitka Spruce that will make you feel very small! Moss and ferns and cover the trees and the forest floor. There is life in this forest that exists only in old growth forest. It is a place out of fairy-tales, of mystery and imagination.

The hiking is not difficult, but there is some hill-climbing, and there are some board-walks. Some of these board walks have not been repaired since the winter storms swept through the area.

Lunch, water, and snacks will be supplied. Bring insect repellant, rain gear and a jacket or sweater in case it is a cool day. Hiking boots are recommended. No sandals! It will be a 7:30 AM start from Rainbird's office.

The price is $155.00 + GST per person.
