West Coast Trail, British Columbia The best hike in the World [img:11f68a65ba]http://bcadventure.com/adventure/explore/island/southern.gif[/img:11f68a65ba] The West Coast Trail is located on the southern west coast of Vancouver Island, BC Canada and stretches 77 kilometers from Port Renfrew on the south end to Bamfield on the north end. Thousands of hikers travel all or part of the trail each year. To address the concern over environmental impact on the trail and hiker safety and enjoyment the Canadian Parks Service has instituted a reservation system. We hope that this system will provide you with a more satisfying wilderness experience. Over the years the stretch of coastline encompassing the West Coast Trail has been many things to many people. Here, the influence of the ocean on the human history has been dramatic. Native people, lighthouse keepers, shipwreck survivors, homesteaders, prospectors and missionaries all have traveled along these trails and beaches. Today, visitors come to experience the beauty of the coastal environmental and the challenge of hiking one of the most arduous hiking trails in North America. The West Coast Trail is one of three components of the Pacific Rim National Parks system to protect the outstanding natural features of this area, both terrestrial and marine. The beauty of this craggy sea stacks; dramatic rocky headlands; wide, sandy beaches and lush rainforests all intertwined with a vibrant cultural history, are but a few special features on the West Coast Trail.

Travel lightly on this trail, enjoy your time and keep your eyes open for the many remaining signs of the past. The West Coast Trail is open for hiking from May 1 to September 30. Travel during the off-season is hazardous and not recommended. ROUTE -coastal hike of 75km (47mi) -trailheads near towns of Port Renfrew (Gordon River) and Bamfield (Pachena Bay) -all campsites are first-come, first-served -decide as you go where you want to camp. An "open" itinerary is best. -we recommend 7 nights on the trail for an optimal experience. Take time to enjoy this beautiful place. -fit hikers can easily do it in 5 nights -often you can choose between an inland path or a coastal route. The coast is almost always better. -you need study a tide chart to plot your best itinerary, hitting specific points at low tide
