Sunshine Coast Trail

Day 6 on the nearly 200km Sunshine Coast Trail marked being over halfway, both in time and in distance. We started the day with a phenomenal sunrise from Tin Hat Mountain and ended it with a wonderful surprise at Elk Lake!

Our fifth day was dominated by the large descent from Confederation Lake and the bigger climb up to the top of Tin Hat Mountain, carrying up water for the night. But Tin Hat didn't disappoint, the views were incredible!

We hiked a relatively short 17km today, with our packs being heavy from the previous day's resupply. Highlights include the Inland Lake loop, the cabin on Anthony Island, and swimming & rowboating at Confederation Lake. This was Ryan's favourite hut of the trail!

Our third day on the trail gave us lots of excitement over just 19.5km... From a bear sighting, to burger lunch and picking up our huge 7-day resupply!

A 27km day of hiking brought us from Manzanita Bluffs to Sliammon Lake. We walked through lush coastal forests, past Rievely Pond Hut and multiple creeks, waterfalls, and small camping areas.

Our first day on the Sunshine Coast Trail brought us from Powell River to Sarah Point via 4 wheels, then the 21km from Sarah Point to Manzanita Bluffs Hut on foot.
