OMG, what a hike!
I just got back from a family backpacking trip - myself, wife, two sons, and a girlfriend. Seven days of hiking and camping on the West Coast Trail of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada was a wonderful week in the wilds. I finished my trip report, but wanted to share a few pictures now.

The trail has plenty of ladders...

First (and steepest) Ladder right at the southern trailhead.
 

Ladders Going Up and Down
 

Ladders Upon Ladders
 

Nice Bridge Across River
 

Not So Nice Bridge
 

Nice Boardwalk
 

Not So Nice Boardwalk
 

Cable Cars Are Fun
 

Easy Beach Walks
 

Not So Easy Rock Scrambles
 

The Trail was Flat...
 

And Not So Flat
 

Beautiful Forest...
 

and Coastline
 

Buoys hanging in trees marked the trail into the higher forest...
 

Or, they were just buoys in trees.
 

So, we added one found on the beach.
 

All the campsites were very nice.
 

So were the toilets at each camp.
 

We made some friends.
 
And enjoyed so many things along the way...
