About Juan de Fuca: This mapsheet covers two startling different worlds: the interior of southwestern Vancouver Island and the southwestern Vancouver Island coast. The two are not easily interchangeable, even though side by side, as the coast is not easily accessible from shore for long stretches. Blame the geology that makes the Juan de Fuca Provincial Park stretch so interesting by paddle. Sea stacks, caves and cliffs dominate the shore with often small and intermittent beaches. Hikers can traverse the same stretch and experience a completely different environment of deep forests, valleys, rivers and possibly even subalpine bog environments. And that is the magic of the area – a diverse range of attractions that can still remain hidden, even if in fairly close proximity to the most heavily populated island locations.

About this mapsheet: This mapsheet covers the southwestern Vancouver Island coast and all the marine features from Port Renfrew to Sooke. It also includes the inland information including details on the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail and the Kludakh Trail.
