This parking area provides convenient access to the Cape Scott and North Coast trails. However, reaching the parking area isn't all that convenient. For those beginning their hikes there is a long 60+ kilometer drive on rough logging roads to get here, and those arriving on foot from the North Coast Trail will have just completed a rough and rugged trek across Vancouver Island. That being said, the parking area can get busy in summer and the road conditions vary throughout the year so be sure to look up the current conditions before you head out.
