Start of the Big Tree Trail as seen from the ocean. |

Wind your way along the boardwalk through the forest. |

Old growth cedar trees line the Big Tree Trail. |

The boardwalk is fairly level with some stair sections. |

Lush rainforest of Meares Island, Clayoquot Sound |

Remember to look up, and up and... |

Does that sign say nest... |

...as in huge eagle nest in that tree? |

Just a couple more steps and we're there. |

The Hanging Garden Tree at the end of the boardwalk. |

The Hanging Garden Tree of Meares Island. |

Normal size people, big size tree! |
The Hanging Garden Tree is estimated to be
more than 2,000 years old
and is 18.3 metres (60 feet) in circumference. |

We start the trip back along the boardwalk.. |

Hey, how did we miss this big tree on the way in? |

We continue on our way back to the trail head... |

...where we find our trusty kayaks waiting for us. |

After a wonderful hike on the Big Tree Trail we kayak home with this big beautiful
sky! |
