The Ancient Forest Trail provides an opportunity to view enormous ancient cedar trees within BC's inland rainforest. The trail is an easy-moderate hike marked with interpretative signage, and is home to a beautiful waterfall. A 400m portion of the trail is a universal access boardwalk. It leaves the parking lot, goes through incredible cedar trees and other vegetation before ending at a small stream. It's quite a drive out, but if you have the time and a vehicle, it's a nice spot!
