Wild Pacific Trail (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.
The lighthouse loop is
approximately a 2.5-kilometre walk through connecting He-Tin-Kis Park.
The Wild Pacific Trail is a 2 minute walk from Ocean Mist Guesthouse.
Walk, cycle or drive that distance (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. There are a number of stair
sections and beach access down a long series of stairs. He-Tin-Kis Park
boardwalk path also connects to the Wild Pacific Trail and lighthouse. |
