Rainforest Figure Eight Trail, located in Pacific Rim National Park, will take your breath away with its magical jungle forest.

According to Alltrails, the entire hike only takes roughly 48 minutes to complete.

Although, prepare to get your steps in for the day because there are wooden stairways with some moderate inclines throughout the trail.

Along the way, you will get to see breathtaking natural scenery — like giant lush trees, glimpses of the Pacific Ocean and maybe even some wildlife.

This entire trail has so many different types of trees that are all so unique and most look totally enchanting.

This hike should definitely be on your summer bucket list with friends.
