The West Coast Trail

The West Coast Trail

website The West Coast Trail
Photos and journal from a hike on the West Coast Trail in 1995. Includes links to more information about the trail. The West Coat Trail, part of the Pacific Rim National Park, stretches 77 km between Pachena Bay and Port Renfrew along the western shore of Vancouver Island. This piece of coastline was known as "The Graveyard of the Pacific" due to the numerous ships that found their end on the dangerous rock shelves. Development began with a telegraph line and two lighthouses to aid the ships, but not until the wreck of the SS Valencia in 1906 claimed the lives of 126 people near the rocks now called Valencia Bluffs, the Canadian Government began the construction of a lifesaving trail. This trail was intended to allow quick access to the coast and was maintained by lighthouse keepers and telegraph linesmen.
