by Jason Crowley 02 Apr 2024

Canada is a treasure trove of stunning landscapes, and exploring its trails is a must for any outdoor enthusiast. Whether you're after breathtaking vistas, rugged terrain, or serene walks, we’ve rounded up the top 5 trails to explore across the country this season. Each trail offers unique challenges and rewards, and we've got the gear to help you tackle them.

1. West Coast Trail, British Columbia

Known for its rugged beauty, the West Coast Trail is a 75 km trek through ancient rainforests, sandy beaches, and cliff-side terrain. It's a challenging hike that requires preparation and the right gear. Our waterproof and breathable jackets are perfect for the unpredictable weather you’ll encounter.

2. The Bruce Trail, Ontario

Stretching over 900 km along the Niagara Escarpment, The Bruce Trail is Canada's oldest and longest marked footpath. It offers hikers scenic vistas, waterfalls, and a rich diversity of flora and fauna. Pack one of our lightweight down jackets for warmth during cooler hikes.

3. Skyline Trail, Nova Scotia

This moderately challenging trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park is famous for its stunning ocean views and chances to spot wildlife, including moose and eagles. Our breathable layers will keep you comfortable whether the hike heats up or the coastal winds pick up.

4. The Great Divide Trail, Alberta

For the adventurous spirit, the Great Divide Trail weaves through the Canadian Rockies, offering more than 1,100 km of wilderness hiking. It's a less traveled path that demands robust, durable gear like our 3-in-1 systems jackets for adaptable insulation.

5. Chilkoot Trail, Yukon

This historic trail takes you through the Coast Mountains from Alaska into Yukon, following the path of the Klondike Gold Rush. This challenging, multi-day hike demands gear that can handle all conditions. Equip yourself with our ultra-warm down parkas for this high-altitude adventure.
