Vancouver Islands West Coast Trail is 50 miles of the most spectacular, demanding hiking on the continent. From Bamfield to Port Renfrew, it stretches precariously along a coast that has claimed 60 ships since 1854, and has become known as the "Graveyard of the Pacific". It's now happily part of Pacific Rim National Park and one of the most beautiful stretches of wilderness left anywhere. And here, finally, is a proper hiker's guide to it and the Nitinat Lakes, including 12 large-scale area maps, all of the trail information and hints necessary for a safe journey and an excellent introduction to wilderness hiking. It is indispensable for anyone hiking the West Coast Trail.

The Sierra Club of British Columbia was formed in 1969 by a group of people who admired the work of the original club and were concerned with the destruction of the province's wilderness. This book is their advice for the safe and intelligent use of the trail and a plea for its preservation as a valuable natural resource.
