The Wild Pacific Trail
A dream for nature lovers and hikers, Ucluelet’s rugged coastline offers a trail through a forest of old-growth spruce and cedar trees, and viewpoints with spectacular panoramas of the Pacific Ocean, Barkley Sound and the Broken Group Islands. Add the serenade of the ocean waves crashing against the rocks below and the Wild Pacific Trail melts every worry away.
The Wild Pacific Trail of Tofino
Schooner Cove
In Tofino on the north end of Pacific Rim National Park, wooden boardwalks and stairs wind through ancient, moss-covered cedar and hemlock trees, dipping through valleys and over babbling brooks. The 2 km path eventually opens onto a secluded bay and rocky outcrop, the end to a profoundly rejuvenating journey. As the “lungs of the earth”, rainforests provide us with much-needed oxygen — and it’s hard to imagine it gets much purer than this.
The Beaches
Tofino’s beaches are a different breed from the tropical skies, palm trees and white powder sands of the Caribbean, but they are magical — and, for some, even healing. Surfers chase the west coast waves (the town enjoys the status of Canada’s surfing capital); non-surfers walk the ethereal stretches of sand against the lull of the tide while searching for sea life.
But the beaches are at their most beautiful when the sun rises and falls.
