Description

Part trail map, part field guide, part regional history, Cape Scott and the North Coast Trail is the first comprehensive guidebook about one of Vancouver Island’s most iconic destinations. Each and every year, thousands of backpackers and nature lovers head to the northern limits of Vancouver Island, bound for the jewel of the region: Cape Scott Provincial Park and the recently completed North Coast Trail.

Cape Scott, 115 kilometres of wave- and weather-beaten coastline, encompasses each dramatic element of Pacific Northwest geography. Rocky headlands neighbour sandy beaches and secure coves; bogs house sensitive amphibians and plants; and inland, a dense network of towering conifers, ferns, salal and beds of moss define the rainforest. The North Coast Trail wends its way through this paradise, offering hikers a rugged trek to Cape Sutil, a place steeped in First Nations history, beautiful ocean views along the long sandy beach at Shuttleworth Bight and glimpses of probably the most largest intact coastal wetlands in British Columbia, an upland bog housing sandhill cranes and various endemic species.

Cape Scott and the North Coast Trail equips visitors with everything they wish to know to benefit from the park. Illustrated with accurate maps and vivid photographs, and loaded with details about biology and human history, the guide is perfect for the day tripper, serious backpacker or any individual wanting to be informed more about the culture and natural world of the region.
