Tips

From the Pacific Rim Highway, the Canso Bomber Ruins Trail leads to a low ridge where the ruins of a building stand. The former utility building is covered in graffiti. The trail continues down a muddy, root-filled path into a wetland; rubber boots are recommended for the hike. Fortunately, wooden planks have been laid in the depression, allowing us to reach the site where the plane wreckage was left with dry feet.
The wreckage fascinated more than just us; on no other hike on Vancouver Island did we encounter so many people. (May 17, 2025)
