A grove of large trees 10 km from town including Canada's "gnarliest tree". There are boardwalk trails set up to walk around the grove, while protecting the forest. The Ancient Forest Alliance (AFA) has worked hard to locate and preserve some of North America's largest trees around Port Renfrew. This preservation is paying off as people from all over the world visit. Reaching the grove requires driving on gravel road and a single-lane wooden trestle over Gordon River.
