The West Coast Trail is one of the most famous and most challenging multi-day backpacking hikes on Vancouver Island. This 7-day, 75 km hike takes you along the west coast in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.

The terrain is steep, rough, muddy and root covered, there are over 100 ladders, fast-flowing rivers, and unpredictable weather - all while carrying 50 lbs packs!

It's not your average stroll in the park - this trail is for experienced hikers looking for a real adventure. So, if you're up for the challenge, get ready to push your limits and experience the rugged beauty of the West Coast like never before!

There is a lot to know before doing this hike. We have written a full guide to hiking this trail and linked it here! 👇
