- So you want to hike The West Coast Trail huh? Well you've come to the right place.
The WCT is a 75km multi day backpacking trail in the Pacific Rim National Park on Vancouver Island. It boasts world class views and breath taking scenery which will leave you more in love with BC's coast line than you were before.
I've created a mini guide/VLOG of our time on the WCT, and I hope it helps you prepare for your adventure of a lifetime. I've attached some links of value below to go along with the content of the video.

Loved this trail. First adventure done at 50. Best experience ever.
great video
Thanks!! :)
Thought about back in 2002 at 40, just never got to it. 2022 I turn 60, seems like a killer goal, thus the binging on WCT videos. My body will be 60 but my mind is sooo much younger.
Nice video. Will shoot my trip with gopro, and also the Fusion 360. - Cheers
We saw a lot of groups with older hikers. It's all about endurance and mind over matter. I believe in you!!
Nice video. Having done the full sea kayak circumnavigation of Vancouver Island twice so far, it is nice to see this section from the perspective of a backpacker.
I'll certainly be doing this backpacking trip sometime in the next couple years.
Just subscribed!
May mention this video in one of my next videos as well.
Nice Colin
Hey, thanks for putting work on making this video. It’s really helpful. I have a question: do you think is it possible to hammock camp in west coast trail?
I was about to ask the same question ...
Looks great! Cant wait to get back and do it one day
Hope you're able to one day!!
What was the average pack weight everyone carried??
I think the average weight was around 40-45lbs. Obviously it gets lighter the longer you hike. I could have packed less and lighter, but sometimes creature comforts take priority ;)
@@ColinRutherfordFilms that's not so bad. I usually average 35lbs for 3 days and 45lbs in winter, so kind of around the weight I was guessing. Thanks
How’s the bathroom situation along the trail?
Great vid! Thanks for sharing!
Bathroom situation along the trail??
Bathroom???😂😂😂😂
awesome!
Great video Colin!!!! What was the average hiking time per day?
It's about 5ish hours per day. Since its along the coast, there isn't any crazy elevation gain so you can cover quite a bit of ground in those 5 hours!!
