The West Coast Trail, on Vancouver Island, incorporates 76km of ladders, suspension bridges and exposed coastline. A route for adventurous hikers, the entire route takes around three weeks to complete and walkers have to register for a permit months in advance. Open from May to September, you can expect 14C temperatures and sporadic, stormy weather. Outside this season, wild weather and high tides can prove fatal.
For mountaineers, The Rockies hold no end of adventure and in eastern Canada, the Appalachian Mountains offer hiking in stunning maple-leaf and evergreen forests. The spring and summer months are warm and best for wildlife viewing.
