Enjoy!The Nootka Trail A Backpackers' ParadiseBy Pal Horvath Editor: J. Pal wants nothing in return other than your voice in protecting this trail.
Pal has hiked and organized trail maintenance trips to this trail dozens of times, we hope you enjoy. The more people that visit and write letters of support in expanding the protected shoreline area the better, and trailpeak is glad to be a part of it. The trail takes roughly 5 to 6 days and is tide dependent.Pal Horvah also recently contacted trailpeak and offered his book to us in a greater effort to have this trail protected. If you look at the cut-out (below) from topo map 92E/10, you will see in the small overlay (overview) 4 other "dots" that represent this hiker's daily stopping point, marked on his GPS. However, there are a few tricky sections where one can get somewhat disoriented and most people find their way back onto the trail without much difficulty. We have some GPS points for you (see GPS Download), which you can use, however the donor (Lorenzo) claims that in very few places will you need GPS. This is the trail everyone is raving about.
