The stunning West Coast Trail on British Columbia's Vancouver Island is an experience not to be taken lightly.  Weather, tough trail conditions and tides can conspire to make this a tough trek. Yet the rewards are enormous: stunning scenery, incredible wildlife and a sense of being out in the middle of nowhere make this one of Canada's premier treks.
