In August 2023, we hiked the South to North along the West Coast Trail in Pacific Rim National Park. This is a 75km trail spanning the west coast of Vancouver Island. We took 7 days to complete the trip, beginning at Gordon River and ending in Pachena Bay.
The West Coast Trail is located on the traditional territories of several Indigenous peoples, including the Ditidaht, Pacheedaht, and Huu-ay-aht First Nations. These lands are part of the unceded territory on the southwest coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.
