A spectacular and easy family-friendly hike is to the Grove of the Patriarchs. For over 1,000 years, the trees of the small island in the Ohanapecosh River have been protected from fire, avalanche and flood and able to grow to their colossal size. People come from all over the world to experience walking through ancient forests of trees with 30-foot circumferences.
Hike along the Ohanapecosh River to a lush island harboring an ancient cathedral forest of towering western red cedars and Douglas-firs. Some of these gargantuan trees are over 1,000 years old. The hike is an easy 1.3 mile roundtrip from the Stevens Canyon Road or a longer 5.0 mile roundtrip from Ohanapecosh.
