I got a chance to hike on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island on May 14th.
6 hikes / trail runs.
Parks Canada handed me this map. And recommended a number of hikes.
4+5 South Beach Trail + Nuu-chah-nulth Trail (out and back)
7 Rainforest Trail A
7 Rainforest Trail B
8 Combers Beach Trail
Wild Pacific Trail (Ucluelet) – Lighthouse Loop section
Trails in Canada are as well maintained as any in the world. There is a ton of boardwalk in these temperate rainforest hikes.
Instead of watching your boots, you’ll be looking up at the huge old-growth trees.
When Captain Cook first arrived, the old growth forests looked endless. Only 1 in 10 of those ancient trees still stands today.
Pacific Rim National Park Reserve of Canada – Hiking – Long Beach Unit
HIGHLY recommended. 🙂

Beautiful area. Vancouver Island is one part of British Columbia that has evaded me.
That photo is beautiful. Is it one of yours? The trails in that area are beautiful. Maybe one day I would like to go back. So many trails, so little time!!
We’ve likely hiked these areas a hundred times.
My favorite is a very early morning hike from one end of Florencia Bay to the other and back again…
