Description
This trail is easy to find--start up the Grouse Mountain Highway then turn right about 50m before the first switchback onto the well-signed Big Cedar Trail. Follow the reflective markers through the forest to the first checkpoint--a large cedar stump about 1.5 km into the hike. The markers continue to an enormous ~3m cedar about 1 km later. Continue along the technical, but otherwise well-signed route to the impressive Kennedy Falls.
