先谢谢lulu非常专业耐心的陪我买了一些hiking的东西

今天参加的人满多的.等我们准点到的时候,已经没位置了.只好席地而坐.我没记全,只能想起什么写什么了

下面是报告啊,不全的地方,让lulu补充.
介绍了WCT的历史(自己查书吧 :D )
介绍了WCT的沿路
   -好象从什么地方到什么地方,可以走森林,也可以沿海岸线走
   -沿途有一些灯塔
   -有很多类型的梯子要爬
   - 注意这个网站: www.waterleverls.gc.ca.因为要注意沿途各个地方的潮起潮落的时间,好搭帐篷.(强烈建议的噢)
    -有一个cable car,好象满有意思的,你要把自己拉过河的空中缆车

了解WCT是否适合你
    -要有backpacking的经验
    -有强壮的身体(腿,膝等等)
     -有充分的思想准备(有各种情况会发生)

准备走WCT (下面是笔记,我就不翻了)
   Prepare your body
   load your pack
   Do other hikings
   Stretch and rest
   eat nutritions food
   Gear
      .gaiters (very important)
      .Creek/CAMP footwear (到休息的时候可以换的)
      .Pack raincover
      .Collapsible hiking poles
      .Small trop with ropes
      .Lot of snacks
      .Test your stove (一定要试好了再带去)

申请程序和费用:
www.pc.gc.ca
June 15-Sep 15 是旺季,要预定($165)
除此之外是淡季,不需预约,应该是便宜些了.

其他信息:上google search "west coast trail guide"
一般需要一个星期比较好些.如果花十天慢慢走也不错

西行客

谢谢TracyL的会议记录，给出的很多简洁的连接，让我们能有机会了解更多的West Coast Trail！

TracyL笔记记得好详细！:)

在我忘了之前赶紧把我记得的补充在这里：

official的梯子38座
cable car 不止一个
至少有两处要趟水过小溪
有蛇，但都是无毒蛇，也不咬人
有Cougar和black bear，但是好象没有伤人记录
有两个ferry
选择起点需要考虑一下，南端难度大，北端难度小
IR区域需要注意
Camping最好在指定的有设施的camping site
Park提供的tidal table只有high/low，最好自己先打印每小时的
