Welcome to Mile Zero of the World’s Longest Network of Trails!

In this video, we are kicking off an epic new series where we explore the massive Trans Canada Trail (formerly known as The Great Trail). Stretching over 30,000 kilometers and divided into more than 400 unique sections, it is a feat of engineering and natural beauty. Our journey begins at the very eastern edge of the continent: The East Coast Trail in Newfoundland.

What is the East Coast Trail?
The East Coast Trail (ECT) isn't just one path—it’s a world-class wilderness experience consisting of 25 interconnected paths and several community walks. Spanning over 336 kilometers along the rugged Avalon Peninsula, this section of the Trans Canada Trail offers some of the most dramatic coastal scenery on the planet. From towering 300-foot sea cliffs to deep, forested fjords, the ECT is a true test of spirit and a feast for the eyes.

Highlights in this Video:
Cape Spear: Stand at the literal edge of North America. We visit the easternmost point of the continent where the sun rises before anywhere else in Canada.

The Spout: Witness the "Ocean Geyser." We show you this natural phenomenon where wave action forces water through a rocky blowhole, creating a spectacular spray that can reach heights of 20 meters!

Iceberg Alley: If you time your hike right (May–June), you’ll see ancient glacial giants drifting past the shore.

Geocaching Adventures: Did you know the ECT is a haven for treasure hunters? We talk about the hundreds of geocaches hidden along these paths. It’s the ultimate way to turn a hike into an interactive adventure!

The Suspension Bridge: We cross the famous La Manche bridge, a rebuilt piece of history that offers stunning views of the Atlantic.

Culture & Communities
What makes the East Coast Trail unique is its connection to over 30 historic "outport" communities. You’ll experience the world-famous Newfoundland hospitality, colorful architecture in St. John’s, and the deep history of the Colony of Avalon. It’s a rare blend of wild, untamed nature and warm, welcoming civilization.

🎒 Plan Your Hike:
Whether you’re a thru-hiker looking to tackle all 336km or a day-tripper looking for a moderate stroll, the ECT has something for everyone. Remember to pack for "four seasons in one day"—Newfoundland weather is as legendary as its scenery!
