Nestled deep in Oregon’s coastal range, the Valley of the Giants is a true hidden gem. This little-known old growth forest is full of lush, majestic scenery, and it’s home to some of the oldest (and largest) trees in the state. A short, lovely trail will lead you through this incredible place on a beautiful journey you won’t soon forget.

As you stroll through this spectacular rainforest, you’ll be enchanted by the ancient, mossy trees and the serene, peaceful atmosphere.

You’ll walk past enormous Douglas Firs and Hemlocks, some of which are estimated to be around 500 years old.
