Yuquot

Yuquot, also known as Friendly Cove, is a small settlement on Nootka Island, off Central Vancouver Island. The quiet today belies its past when it was the thriving summer home to the Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nations and the point of first European contact in British Columbia. Visitors can learn about the history and take in some of the marvelous scenery in the area.

    Nootka Trail

    A 35-km trek with beaches, waterfalls, old-growth forest and chances to see wildlife. Hazards to watch for include creek crossings, rough terrain with difficult footing and some beaches can't be crossed at high tide (tide tables are a must!). Typical hike times are 4-8 days. It's possible to start in Yuquot and hike to the end and back, but most are dropped off at Louie Lagoon at the north-end of the trail and hike southwards to Yuquot.

    There's a $50 fee to hike the trail, which permits camping and using facilities in Yuquot. The fee is paid at the office in the church in Yuquot
