We hiked BC's Sunshine Coast Trail from Sarah Point to Lund - 1 DAY Adventure

We head to British Columbia's Sunshine Coast Trail (SCT) to sample Canada's longest Hut-to-Hut backcountry hiking experience.

06:46 Yaz's Chop Salad (outtakes)

On this adventure we'll take two ferries to get us from Horseshoe Bay in Vancouver, to Saltery Bay on the northern end of the Sunshine Coast. From there, we'll drive north to the hamlet of Lund, known as the Gateway to Desolation Sound, and the Shellfish Capital of the Sunshine Coast. Lund is also a departure point for those wishing to visit the sandy beaches of Savary Island.

We'll be staying at the Finn Bay Farm Retreat, which is absolutely fantastic if you are looking for a quiet, cozy getaway. Our host, Paul, was so lovely and shared fresh vegetables from the farm garden.

We'll do a reconnaissance trip in Lund to determine what our big adventure for the weekend will be as there are so many activities to choose from! Clamming, Paddle-boarding, Swimming, Scuba diving, boating, art tours... We decide on a lofty plan to hike the Sunshine Coast Trail from Sarah Point back to our cabin near Lund. Just a wee 23 km hike right off the couch!

Rather than drive along a logging road to get to the Sarah Point trailhead, we decide to try something different and hire a boat so that we can admire the incredible coastline. Amazing experience with Finn Bay Marine Group, which was just a short walk from Blue Jay Cottage.

Our backcountry hiking experience was so fabulous. Very well maintained trails and huts. Gorgeous scenery. Such a great way for our family to spend quality time together in nature.

Yaz's Chop Salad rounds out the end of the video with a few outtakes.

A huge thank to realtor Nancy Hamilton, Tourism Powell River, and Sunshine Coast Tourism for helping me with some much needed missing images!
