You know a trail is a death march when Parks Canada makes a 10 min video warning you about it 😅

The West. Coast Tral is a great hike. We did it in 2016 and hope to hike it again someday. When you tell peeople about it, they always ask "How long is it?" and they are rarely impressed by the distance. That is because on this trail the distance is only a very small part of the challenge. It is better described as a week-long mud run / obstacle course. I say that, but our group was extremely lucky: we did not have to hike in the rain at all (only rained one night while we were already in tents). We ended up finishing the trail a day earlier than our original plan. Hopefully the trail will open soon so everyone who planned to hike the WCT in 2020 gets their chance!

Hi there. Someone asked about June 2020 reservations the other day. Please know that Pacific Rim National Park Reserve is working on plans to gradually re-open. We need to ensure the safety of visitors and staff, and we need to be respectful of local communities and First Nations. Please check our website: www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/bc/pacificrim/visit/covid-19-info for the most up-to-date information.

Hello! Is this the orientation video you need to watch prior to getting your permit? I have been reading the prep guide but I am not entirely sure if this part is alluding to this video or something else? Thank you! "In 2022, the mandatory West Coast Trail Orientations MUST be viewed electronically by all West Coast Trail hikers (every single member of your hiking party including yourself) BEFORE you arrive at the West Coast Trail Orientation Centres. As the primary permit holder, it is your responsibility to ensure that all members of your hiking party watch the WCT orientation video before they arrive."

Hi Ty! Thank you for your question. Once you have made your reservation for the West Coast Trail, you will receive an email 2 weeks prior to your departure date that includes a link to the Orientation Video they are speaking of. This RU-vid video, while not the orientation video, is a great one to get the idea of what the trail is like. Hope this is helpful.

Hi there! You can make a reservation for the West Coast Trail by visiting reservation.pc.gc.ca (select backcountry and then West Coast Trail). You can also find planning information on the Parks website: parks.canada.ca/pn-np/bc/pacificrim/activ/sco-wct
