The Nootka Trail is a remote coastal route on Nootka Island, accessible only by float plane or boat. Though only 36km, it is usually completed as a 4-6 day backpacking trip because of the complicated logistics and rugged terrain. The trail begins in Starfish Lagoon and ends in Yuquot, running along beaches and through deep forest. 

Rainbow Mountain is a prominent peak close to Whistler village that involves a fun mix of smooth trail running, off trail route finding, class 3 scrambling, and some of the best views in the area.
