West Coast Trail is the essential guide for hikers planning to backpack the legendary West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island, BC.

• Customize your trip with unique dates, direction (north/south), and campsites.
• Automatic tide calculations for tide-restricted beach sections using official Tofino charts, adjusted for Daylight Savings.
• Interactive map with points of interest, trail highlights, shipwrecks, water sources, and ladder locations (with rung counts).
• Daily summaries showing distances, ladders, and tides.
• Campsite satellite images and detailed trail descriptions.
• Sunrise and sunset times for your exact dates.

In-App Upgrade: PRO Pass
The PRO Pass is a single-year, non-renewing purchase that unlocks all trail features:
• Trail Access – use the app fully offline with no cell service; remains unlocked during your hiking dates.
• On-Trail Map - full screen immersive map for navigation on the trail with GPS locate
• Trail Weather – get precision forecasts for every major campsite.
A PRO Pass is valid for the year shown (e.g. a “2026 PRO Pass” is valid through December 31, 2026).
It’s not a subscription — it never auto-renews and doesn’t need to be cancelled.
Note: The PRO Pass is not a trail permit. A Parks Canada West Coast Trail Backcountry Use Permit is still required to hike.
Free Version
The free version is fully functional for trip planning and ad-free, but it locks during your actual hiking dates.
Upgrade to PRO to stay trail-ready and access all offline features.
