World renowned Cathedral Grove is an ancient Old Growth Douglas Fir forest on Vancouver Island. Visitors can stroll on easy access networks of trails under the shadow of the ancient forest trees, some of the Douglas Firs are over 800 years old. On the south side of the park you will find the largest Douglas Fir measuring 9 meters in circumference. The trails continue on across to the north side of the highway into a grove of ancient Western Red cedar standing watch over nearby Cameron Lake.

The #macmillanpark Experience
Can you imagine walking through Cathedral Grove’s old-growth forest and seeing a T-Rex emerge from behind the trees? YIKES! Well, you might see exactly that in the new Jurassic World 3, as crews were spotted filming in our area the other week. 🦖
Keep your eyes peeled for some familiar scenes when it hits theatres in June 2021. For more information, check the link in bio.

🇨🇦 Хотите понять фразу “когда деревья были большими”?
Добро пожаловать в парк Макмиллана на острове Ванкувер.
Именно там на западном берегу реки Кемерон находится кафедральная роща. В роще произрастает лес древних деревьев псевдотсуг, среди которых имеются экземпляры с возрастом более 800 лет, высотой около 75 метров и обхватом ствола 9 метров!

On nous avait bien dit que cette forêt en valait le détour.
Nous empruntons le court sentier et, après quelques pas, tombons dans ce monde enchanteur où la mousse semble s’être confortablement déposée sur les branches d’arbres qui auraient habité la forêt depuis près de 800 ans. Nous nous promenons dans cette forêt de Douglas géants, s’étirant le cou pour apercevoir jusqu’où ils peuvent toucher le ciel. Entres ces arbres, nous rencontrons le roi de la forêt, mesurant près de 9m en circonférence. 🌲🍂🌲 -

À Cathedral Grove, au Parc provincial MacMillan, on peut voir des sapins de Douglas âgés de plus de 800 ans. Ça, ça veut dire qu’ils avaient déjà près de 300 ans quand Christophe Colomb est débarqué en Amérique !
.
De l’autre côté de la rue, des cèdres rouges géants sont tout aussi impressionnants.

Yesterday was the day to show sacredfire108 a little of the local woods.
Thankfully we started early to beat the heat!! It was also nice to see Mainroad contracting finally repairing some nasty bumps on highway 4 👍🏻

Einfach gigantisch...du fühlst dich so klein und doch beschützt.
Wie in einem Traum, aus dem du nicht aufwachen willst.
Überall ist Natur um um dich herum.
Du kommst aus dem Staunen nicht heraus. ❤🌲🌲🌲❤
I aim to be their hero .
