The Ancient Cottonwood Trail winds through a grove of the world’s biggest and oldest-known black cottonwood trees, with the most ancient dating back 400 years. This two-kilometre trail brings you through the forest’s understory before reaching some of the giant trees.

Along the path are interpretive signs and descriptions explaining cottonwood trees’ ecological role and highlighting other resident plants and animals.
