Wild Pacific Trail: Lighthouse Trail
The Lighthouse Trail lop at the Wild Pacific Trail is
a 2-minute
walk from Ocean Mist Guesthouse. Skirting the rugged coastline of the Ucluelet peninsula, the pathways of the
Wild Pacific Trail wind through lush rainforest vegetation dwarfed by ancient
cedar and spruce trees. Views of the open Pacific Ocean, Barclay Sound
and the Broken Group Islands in Pacific Rim National Park can be seen from various
vantage points along the way. Watch for whales breaching offshore and bald
eagles soaring overhead or perched on nearby treetops.
This loop is
approximately a 2.5-kilometre walk through connecting He-Tin-Kis Park.
Wild Pacific Trail: Big Beach & Brown's Beach
Walk, cycle or drive, through residential areas, to the second
stretch of the trail. Enter at Big Beach or Brown’s Beach and continue
to the bicycle path just outside Ucluelet – approximately a 3 or 4 kilometre
stretch depending on where you start.
He-Tin-Kis Park
A 5-minute walk from Ocean Mist Guesthouse,
the He-Tin-Kis Park sign marks the trailhead near Terrace Beach. This 2-kilometer
boardwalk loop winds through lush old growth forest and offers stunning ocean
views of rocky headlands and Terrace Beach. He-Tin-Kis Park
path also connects to the Wild Pacific Trail and lighthouse. |
