Cathedral Grove

The trees of Cathedral Grove are between 300 and 800 years of age. In 1997, a storm knocked some down, so there are many fallen giants among the living trees.

The forest is so damp and spongy that a wooden walkway has been built for those who want to walk around and see the largest specimens. Even so, you need boots just to get to the boardwalk. The ground is soppy and spongy -- just as you would expect it to be in a rainforest.
