Yet another hike to put on the bucket list. Reminds me of the hikes along the coast in Olympic NP but with more apparatus.

Same here. I've heard about this trail plenty, and it sounds amazing!

I did the West Coast Trail just about a month ago. Was an awesome trip. It's the first time I've done a trip of that sort. Prior to this it was only in and back out to the trailhead and my car type of trips, or loops that only take 2-3 days. It definitely sparked a desire to do something longer. Once out there I didn't want it to end. I wished I would have arranged a resupply box so I could have turned around and went back

Hey folks. I wrote the piece in May on the West Coast trail...wondering if anyone had any follow up questions/comments?
