HIGHLIGHTS: This forested trail leads to the secluded anchorage of Smugglers Cove where five campsites and toilet facilities are available. 500m further on, the main trail ends at a small bay off Welcome Pass with views across to South Thormanby Island and north to Texada Island. Further rugged trails branch out from here across mossy bluffs with Arbutus and Fir trees. These trails lead to southerly views of Welcome Pass and the Straight of Georgia.
