WEST COAST TRAIL
About the West Coast Trail
The WCT is a physically challenging “trail” – or more aptly a physically challenging set of mud puzzles interspersed by ladders, cable cars, beaches and some of the most beautiful scenary Canada has to offer. Permits sell out every year for good reason. The WTC was my first multiday hiking trip and one I will never forget!

West Coast Trail – Day 7
Michigan Creek to Northern Terminus 14km Up early as we have to make the 12 km hike (as per the official map 14 km by my GPS) in time to catch the West Coast Trail bus at 12:45. Of course it is raining once again but I long ago gave up caring. Today I care even less...

West Coast Trail – Day 3

West Coast Trail – Day 2
Thrasher Cove to Campers Bay - 14 Km as per my GPS. Due to the ungodly amount of rainfall today my DSLR stayed in my bag. Which other than lugging the >5lbs of weight for no reason at all wasn't a big deal. I imagine this part of the hike to be much more beautiful...

Southern Terminus (Port Renfrew) to Thrashers Cove - 9 km Woke up well before my alarm went off or any semblance of reasonability started and headed across the street for breakfast. Breakfast was served at the Coastal Kitchen Cafe which my last chance for some real...
