Ancient Forest Trackable Hotel Traditional Cache

The Ancient Forest of interior BC is a unique ecosystem in which 1000 - 2000 year old Western Redcedars grow in an inland rainforest. This rainforest is reminiscent of the rainforests on BC's west coast, but grow within sight of the Rocky Mountains and are therefore highly unusual.

Parking for the trail is located just off the highway. A dozen interpretive signs along the well marked, but unobtrusive 2.5-kilometre trail explain the significance of this 29-hectare ecosystem that has lain virtually undisturbed for centuries. There is a small donation box used to help fund for the upkeep of the trails by volunteers. Please consider donating some pocket change while you are there as every little bit counts. While there please be respectful of the area and don't forget to bring a camera as you will be treated to some spectacular views.

Please note that trail conditions may change by season and that ongoing trail upgrades may require closures or detours on some sections.All hikers should be aware that conditions on mountain trails can change quickly and that wildlife may be encountered. Also watch out for danger trees (trees that are old or decaying and leaning too far as they may fall).
