OMG, what a hike!
I just got back from a family backpacking trip - myself, wife, two sons, and a girlfriend. Seven days of hiking and camping on the West Coast Trail of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada was a wonderful week in the wilds. I finished my trip report, but wanted to share a few pictures now.
The trail has plenty of ladders...

First (and steepest) Ladder right at the southern trailhead.

Or, they were just buoys in trees.

So, we added one found on the beach.

All the campsites were very nice.

So were the toilets at each camp.

And enjoyed so many things along the way...
