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.
