ABOUT THIS REGION  BACKPACKING

Backpacking the West Coast Trail

Hike one of the most beautiful trails in the world on this backpacking expedition along the West Coast Trail in Pacific Rim National Park, BC. Enjoy the natural majesty of the West Coast Trail – one step at a time. Your guides will ensure that your enjoyment is equal to the magnificent scenery of this spectacular coastal foot path. This backpack has almost everything - sweeping sandy beaches, sea caves, rocky headlands, shelves teeming with marine life, and spectacular waterfalls. Besides the backpacking, the trail offers many opportunities to explore tidal pools in the area. The bays are full of inter-tidal life. Hiking through the ancient forests is also a popular activity. Fishing is superb, provided you have a license!
