IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER When hiking any one-way/point to point trail in the park for a day, or on a multi-day back country trip, always bring two vehicles, and park one vehicle at the appropriate spot where you expect to finish your hike. There is no public transport (example - taxis, or buses) within the park, so you should ensure that you have pre-arranged transportation to pick you up, or waiting for you at the end of your hike.
CAIRNS OR INUKSHUK
Along the coast there are some parts of the trail that cannot be marked with the blue hiker signs to show you the way, so these stone markers made by other hikers are only guides - even though these markers are there, always be sure and follow your park map and compass to ensure you are following the trail in the desired direction. Refer to your park map for detailed trail information and directions. Contact the park office for up to date camping, trail / hiking and weather information.
