Ahead of the reopening of the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail next week, the British Columbia government says hikers will find a host of improvements along the 47-kilometre wilderness path this season.
Among the upgrades are the addition of 50 new elevated tent platforms spread across five backcountry campgrounds.
Ten platforms have been added to each of the campgrounds at Mystic Beach, Bear Beach, Chin Beach, Little Kuitshe Creek and Payzant Creek. Two more food caches have also been installed at each campground. The total cost of the upgrades is $905,000, which the province calls the single largest investment in the Juan De Fuca Marine Trail in recent years.
