West Coast Trail: Hike of a Lifetime

The West Coast Trail stretches 75 kilometers along Vancouver Island's wild Pacific coastline in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, weaving through lush rainforest, muddy trails, sandy beaches, and dramatic tide pools. Hikers navigate challenging ladders, cable cars, boardwalks, and boulder-strewn shores, with the southern section from Gordon River to Walbran Creek taking 2-3 days due to rugged terrain.
