Wildside, Hiking trail on Flores Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The Wildside Trail spans 11 kilometers through coastal rainforest and beaches, connecting the village of Ahousaht to Cow Bay Beach on Flores Island.
The trail was established in 1993 through manual construction as part of a First Nations women's project to generate employment for the Ahousaht community.
Elder Stanley Sam created a detailed guidebook highlighting locations of traditional importance along the path, preserving Ahousaht First Nation knowledge.
Visitors need to take a 35-minute water taxi from Tofino to Ahousaht and pay a trail fee of 15 dollars per person per day.
The trail features three wilderness camping areas where hikers can stay overnight while experiencing the remote coastal environment of British Columbia.
