West Coast Trail

We've done it! Mel, Kevin and I hiked 75 fantastic kilometres along the west coast of Vancouver island in the Pacific Rim National Park. We slid along slimey boardwalks, scaled massive ladders, scrambled over boulders, gingerly stepped around muddy pits and walked along endless beaches. There were 6 nights of great beach camping (well minus the 1 night it rained, but it only rained 1 night and in the temperate rainforest that is pretty damn good) and many more rest stops in awesome locations ( we had the "take the time to smell the ferns" philosophy).

75 km of beach

The west coast trail (as the name would suggest) is right along the coast, so it was beach after beautiful beach. some of them natural seesaws

variable terrain

As you can see the walk along the west coast was always interesting...

Just the three of us

Three adventures share the good times and the bad...wait there weren't any bad times.... and take every opportunity to pose for the album cover of our christian rock band.

a lovely cave and a lovelier pint

The cave was a beautiful site to explore near the end of the hike and the beer was a very beautiful was to celebrate 75 fantastic kilometres.
