The West Coast Trail


How did I get talked into that one? As a runner, I thought perhaps I would be in shape enough to tackle one of the toughest trails in North America, but let me tell you it was no cake walk to crawl through 75km, or 47mi! Let me introduce you to the wonderful (and painful) views of the trail along the so-called Graveyard of the Pacific...

Resting just hours before the hike at our lodge.
Our first campsite with a private cave and a waterfall!
View from our tent in the morning.
Views when hiking.
Getting down on a ladder straight onto a suspension bridge!
Beautiful sunset at another campsite, Tsusiat Falls.
Foggy morning.
Slowly but surely!
Climbing the ladders first thing in the morning, gotta love an energetic morning!Aaron getting across the river in a cable car. My turn next!

That's a big pack!
Along the trail.
Nice sunset again. Perk of camping on the beach every night!
Algae. Done! Camping last night and taking a boat across the river first thing in the morning!
