The trail opens with the first clean breath of the Coastal mountains — salt air still clinging to the pines as the group sets off under a guide’s steady voice. Fingers of fog lift from glacier-polished valleys, and the trail soon climbs from mossy coastal forest into sun-baked alpine bowls where wind shapes the wildflowers and the peaks dare you onward.
