Five of my family members and I set out to test our endurance trekking one of the most difficult trails in North America. The West Coast Trail, on the south west coast of Vancouver Island, covers 75 kilometers of rough and raw terrain. We were at the whim of nature’s moods and splendor for eight incredible days.
We registered and were granted our permits at the Pachena Beach access to the trail. On a daily basis between May 1st and September 30th, 26 hikers are allowed to start at Pachena (north), and 26 at Gordon River (south). With the exception of an exit at mid-point along the trail, we were committed; as were fellow trekkers from around the globe, who greeted us as they passed by.
