| West Coast Trail - Vancouver Island |
The West Coast Trail, a challenging 77 km (47 mile) hiking delight between Port Renfrew and Bamfield on Vancouver Island is one of the most famous hiking trail in British Columbia, located in the southern part of the Pacific Rim National Park.
The West Coast Trail is an internationally acclaimed hiking trail that retraces an old telegraph route that once connected Victoria with Cape Beale near Bamfield.
The telegraph line was first carved through the virgin coastal wilderness in 1890, to serve as a communication link to aid in the rescue of vessels in distress off the southwest coast of Vancouver Island.
A lot of tragedy and history are part and parcel of this section of Vancouver Island's west coast. More than 60 ships have gone down in this part of the ocean, known as "The Graveyard of the Pacific.
