The West Coast Trail runs roughly 75 kilometres along the southwest coast of Vancouver Island, inside Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. It was built in the 1890s as a lifesaving route for shipwreck survivors, connecting lighthouses and telegraph stations along one of the most dangerous stretches of coastline in North America. This series isn't a record of the trail itself — it's about the people on it, and the textures and quiet moments found along the way.
