The West Coast Trail is the best hike in the world. Right?
But we recommend neighbouring Juan de Fuca Marine Trail precisely because it is not the WCT. ๐
AT A GLANCE
- it’s the West Coast Trail ‘alternative’ that does not cost money nor require a permit
- coastal hike of 47km (29mi) sharing one of the WCT trailheads – Port Renfrew
- no reservations needed
- no quota on number of hikers
- plenty of bears
