West Coast Trail
West Coast Trail Open Permits 2027
West Coast Trail checks the Parks Canada reservation system frequently and shows available quota for the 2027 season here as a free service to hikers looking for last minute permits.
Closed for the season
Parks Canada releases the season’s permits on Reservation Day each January. Permit Search returns by February, once reservations are in the system and availability starts changing.
