The Sunshine Coast Trail—A must do hike

The Sunshine Coast Trail (SCT) is Canada’s longest hut-to-hut hiking trail at 180km and is located around Powell River on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast. Just 135 kilometres northwest of Vancouver, Powell River has endless lush mountains draped in hemlock and cedar forests that run alongside the Georgia Strait.



While most people take 8-10 days to complete the Sunshine Coast Trail, I decided to complete the entire length of the trail in only five days by fast-packing it with support. I broke the trail up into manageable 35km sections (on average) which would allow me to hike with only a day pack and then rendezvous with my support each afternoon to rest, eat and sleep. While these days would be long and strenuous going light and fast was much more appealing than carrying a heavy pack as most people do.
