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.
