Update to Gordon River starting instructions.
Description
West Coast Trail is the essential guide for hikers planning to backpack the legendary West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island, BC.
Plan every detail of your hike with all the essentials at your fingertips:
• Customize your trip with unique dates, direction (north/south), and campsites.
• Automatic tide calculations for tide-restricted beach sections using official Tofino charts, adjusted for Daylight Savings.
• Interactive map with points of interest, trail highlights, shipwrecks, water sources, and ladder locations (with rung counts).
• Daily summaries showing distances, ladders, and tides.
• Campsite satellite images and detailed trail descriptions.
• Sunrise and sunset times for your exact dates.
• Save multiple trip plans or explore options for a YOYO hike.
In-App Upgrade: PRO Pass
The PRO Pass is a single-year, non-renewing purchase that unlocks all trail features:
• Trail Access – use the app fully offline with no cell service; remains unlocked during your hiking dates.
• On-Trail Map - full screen immersive map for navigation on the trail with GPS locate
• Trail Weather – get precision forecasts for every major campsite.
A PRO Pass is valid for the year shown (e.g. a “2026 PRO Pass” is valid through December 31, 2026).
It’s not a subscription — it never auto-renews and doesn’t need to be cancelled.
Note: The PRO Pass is not a trail permit. A Parks Canada West Coast Trail Backcountry Use Permit is still required to hike.
Free Version
The free version is fully functional for trip planning and ad-free, but it locks during your actual hiking dates.
Upgrade to PRO to stay trail-ready and access all offline features.
