Hiking the West Coast Trail in BC?

In case of emergency 🚨 , call
250-726-3604 or 1-877-852-3100.

Parks Canada strongly advises not calling 911 - it often routes to the
USA, since there's U.S. roaming on most of the WCT.

Stay safe out there! 👣 🌊 🎒

How far could you make it on the West Coast Trail with only 1 hiking shoe?👟 (if the other got swept away by the ocean 🌊)

What about 1 hiking shoe + 1 croc🐊sandal? 🤔

Our friend Clara Hughes knows — she actually did it! 🙌 (& she’ll tell you how she lost the shoe in the 1st place 😂) shorturl.at/8pDZY

Dark + neutral tones = easy to match, but they also blend in outdoors.

Bright 🔴, 🟡 & 🟠? 👀 They pop against 🌲 , 🪨 & ❄️& they’re what SAR spot 1st.

BONUS TIP:💙Robin Blue stands out yr-round, especially in fall when reds, yellows & oranges fade into the landscape.🍁

Visibility make all the difference.
