Fodor's Expert Review Wild Pacific Trail

Ucluelet is the starting point for the Wild Pacific Trail, a hiking path that winds along the coast and through the rain forest in two sections: the 2.6-km (1.7-mile) loop starts near Amphitrite lighthouse at the end of Coast Guard road overlooking the Broken Group Islands; the other is 5 km (3 miles) from Big Beach Park to Rocky Bluffs. Take note of the sea-facing trees, bent at right angles in a face-off against the wild and stormy winds.
