A hidden gem in Tofino. This hike requires good shoes as there is a fair amount of scrambling over tree roots and rocks. The view at the top is more than worth it.

The rainforest trail, this boardwalk trail is perfect in all weathers. On a hot day you can keep cool under the canopy of trees. When it rains the surroundings become so vibrant and green making it look extra magical on those rainey days.
