This past weekend yet again the weather did not allow for a hike. Vancouver Island and the mainland experienced an atmospheric river, so I was unable to make it out for a hike on the weekend. For this post I wanted to look at different hikes on Vancouver Island. A trail that really caught my interest was the Vancouver Island Trail. This trail is the longest trail on Vancouver Island, it is 800km long and split into 7 sections. It runs from south Victoria to Cape Scott. This hike is time-consuming and can take up to 2 months to complete, so you must make sure you are well prepared for this hike. When hiking this trail, you will pass through many traditional territories. You will also be able to experience the beautiful flora and fauna Vancouver Island has. This hike is most definitely a dream hike of mine and I hope to one day get to it!
