Vulcan's Forge (or simply The Forge) is a vast desert canyon on the planet Vulcan. The environment of the Forge is harsh, subject to electrical sandstorms and possessing geomagnetic instabilities that interfered with 22nd century technology including scanners, communicators, and transporters. The interference extended several hundred meters above the ground and while aircraft could fly over it, the interference prevented their scanners from identifying objects on the ground.
The Forge is a natural environment for sehlats.
According to historical record, the Forge is where Surak began his pilgrimage in the 4th century AD and his presumed entrance to the Forge was a location known as The Gateway. In 2154, Jonathan Archer and T'Pol traveled to The Forge to track down members of the Syrrannite movement, thought to be responsible for the bombing of the Earth embassy on Vulcan. They discovered that the Syrrannites had taken refuge in the T'Karath Sanctuary, until its destruction by the Vulcan High Command. (ENT: "The Forge", "Awakening")
In 2237, a young Spock traveled on Vulcan's Forge during his kahs-wan, or Vulcan maturity test. (TAS: "Yesteryear")
In 2374, Worf proposed that he and Jadzia Dax undertake a hiking trip across Vulcan's Forge for their honeymoon. Dax rejected the idea as entailing too much suffering. (DS9: "Change of Heart")
