Planning to YOYO the   editor Rick McCharles.

After being closed for all of 2020, our #1 hike in the world opened to reservations on April 30, 2021 — for Canadians only.

The online reservations system worked well — but my credit card was twice declined for no reason. I repeated the process and was finally able to pay.

Since there is less demand this year than normal, I was able to book myself for:

June 10 starting SE from Bamfield.

June 15 starting NW from Port Renfrew.

I'll make haste on the first 75 km (47 mi) .

Take it more leisurely on my YOYO return to Bamfield.

I've done the WCT four times in the past. It doesn't intimidate me at all. I LOVE climbing ladders with a full pack. ?

Wish me luck!
