7 Beautiful Days on the West Coast Trail. The West Coast Trail is a 75 kilometre (47 mile) backpack through thick lush, wet rainforests of the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. The West Coast Trail takes you through many weather systems and eco-systems exploring along sandstone cliffs, navigating across rivers, sinking treks over sandy beaches, navigating tide tables, jumping surge channels, walking boardwalk, crossing in cable cars, balancing over log bridges, climbing ladders straight up and down, crossing rope bridges and of course... slogging through mud. It is a trail for the strong willed, healthy bodied, experienced, well prepared backpacker only, one who adheres to low impact wilderness camping rules. IT IS ONLY FUN IF YOU ARE PREPARED. Muddy bogs, ladders and rain. But people still go year after year. One of the toughest trails to do in Canada because of the conditions. Not for the fainthearted. You should be in good physical condition and be able to handle the rigors of carrying a heavy pack from camp to camp over challenging terrain and conditions for a whole week. There will be some training overnight backpacks. If you are new to backpacking, you will need to attend some training events, contact the coordinator on this.
