Experiences and hikes

For further information on the hiking suggestions I would recommend pc.gc.ca for distances and trailhead information, alltrails.com has more detailed route description, hikingwithbarry.com also has good trail descriptions with photos. Most trails are well marked but we would recommend a map for the longer trails and always carry bear spray.
