This is a 75 km trail and we spent 5days hiking through the backcountry. I hope you enjoy coming along on this adventure with my husband Brian and I! From ladders, to suspension bridges, to old growth forests, to tidal pools, and vast sandy beaches, this trail has so much to offer.
The trail passes through the territory of the Huuayaht, Ditidaht, and Pacheedaht First Nations. Thank you for allowing us to hike through your land and experience this incredibly special landscape.
You can find my complete gear list below.
Thank you so much for watching,
Krys
