Youth activity: Mountaineers Adventure Club
Seattle MAC Backpacking Trip - North Coast Trail
Sea wolves! Cable cars! Sandy beaches! - and a lot of mud. The North Coast Trail on Vancouver Island is a more rugged, wilder, less crowded alternative to the island’s famous West Coast Trail. The North Coast Trail is equally scenic and a great opportunity for experienced backpackers to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
