it's alright. there's not really much to do though. it's a short boardwalk through the forest, usually packed with people who have never been in nature before. Lately there's no one at the gate office to charge you admission, which is fine because for a short little walk like that shouldn't cost you any money. it would be cool if there was an extension to it, or something more than just a short walk.

This is a wonderful short walk on a beautiful boardwalk through giant cedars and lush undergrowth, with interpretive panels. When we visited it was peaceful and serene. A wonderful place to connect with nature. Bonus - there are flush toilets and sinks with running water!

Finally the Parks administration in this area took a few dollars and partially reopened this area. It’s a must see. Quiet, Green, Soothing to the soul.
Should never have closed but as usually happens in government, more pay and benefits beat out repairs to the trail system here for many years. Only partially reopened but still worth the effort to see it

Great trail! It is all a boardwalk so it was easy to walk on, Very quick trail too, maybe 20-30min to walk the whole thing. The trees were so so cool to see, we were really looking forward to seeing them and they did not disappoint. We went mid morning and it was not very busy which was nice. It is a looped trail as well which was nice.

After Hemlock Grove, we also decided to stop in at Giant Cedars Boardwalk for another excursion along the highway. Unlike Hemlock, this is a stairway walk (not for strollers) but it is pretty gentle on the knees and suitable for toddlers who can do stairs. Should take around 20 minutes and is worth the stop.

One of my favorite stops on a beautiful road trip. If I was alone I would have gone around the loop 3 times. I absolutely loved it! Giant gorgeous cedars and a safe walk through them with splendid running water. All packed into a short little walk. Although not wheelchair friendly, almost anyone could do this. I can't wait to go back!

It was a nice walking trail with amazing cedar trees to see. It will not take you that long to walk the whole boardwalk so it is ideal for all ages. It’s a nice spot to just breathe in nature and just be amazed at how gigantic the trees are. This is also a perfect place to take a break from driving since there is a lot of parking space and benches to stop and eat or stretch for a while. They also have restrooms in the area.

Best Powder, with the longest vertical to be found. It is still a quaint town with the low key, west coast vibe and I really do not want it to change.
There is something for everyone: a lot of borders, exceptional skiing, and the heli-ski operation is terrific.

Giant Cedars worth a stop, beautiful forest with amazing trees. Perfect place to stop for 30 minutes and stretch your legs. We also stop at the Hemlock forest boardwalk but preferred the Giant Cedars.

Stopped in here for a quick walk and to stretch our legs. The boardwalk is so easy to walk on and is very well maintained. You'll see some amazing giant cedar trees. It's hard to imagine just how old they are. This doesn't take long and is so well worth the stop.

I plan on stopping in with my dogs on the way home. Is this safe to do solo with my two dogs? Worried about bears if it's not busy?
Written August 29, 2018
It is a boardwalk so shouldnt have wildlife problems. I'd keep the dogs on a leash though unless your dogs have good recall.

Is there parking for trucks pulling a camper trailer?
Written June 21, 2018
Yes. Its a circular pull in so no worries about driving out again. RV's have plenty of space as do coaches. Parking might be a bit limited in peak hours but you can always drive through then on. Have a look on google maps. Be aware you can be charged a small fee if you dont have a national parks pass.

Hello,
can you visit this place before or after hours? We are planning to leave Revelstoke around 5-6AM and want to visit this on our way to Jasper. Can we leave the car there and visit the park?
Written August 10, 2016
I think Parks Canada has specific hours that they may enforce but if you have the daily visitor pass for the National Parks and
you parked at the entrance, it's a very short walk to the trail.
The trail takes about 20 minutes so you could probably enjoy
an early morning walk in a spectacular setting before anyone would be the wiser. That said, you may want to check with Parks Canada or the actual site for more guidance.
Written August 10, 2016
Keep in mind this attraction is probably closed until late spring due to snow. You are supposed to have a national park pass or you pay the day fee which is about $20 if the park staff are manning the station. If they are not there it is free. because there is no way to pay while you are at the attraction. Great spot for a 1/2 to 1 hour stop or great place to have a lunch picnic. Big trees and beautiful forest.
