    The Dudette Loop Trail is an 11.3 km lollipop hiking route that is made up of several different trails that can be found in and around Mount Elphinstone Provincial Park. Along the trail, you will experience the almost magical atmosphere of the West Coast temperate rainforest, as you loop your way through the thick brush and cross over flowing streams that dissect the forest floor. Make sure to bring a GPS or trail map, as this route is part of a dense network of trails and navigation can be tricky.

    Route Description for Dudette Loop Trail

    If you are looking for a breathtaking rainforest setting with an abundance of plant life along your hike, then the Dudette Loop Trail is the perfect option for a fun day out in the wilderness. This hike winds through the forest along well-maintained paths and small log bridges, and also features a small amount of elevation gain to keep the hike interesting while providing you with a bit of exercise. This makes it a great option for hikers of all skill levels, although some less-mobile hikers might have difficulty along certain stretches of terrain.

    Setting out from the trailhead, follow the route to the north until you arrive at a junction, take the path to the right to begin a counterclockwise loop, following along with your GPS so as not to get lost in the rainforest. After looping around the trail and crossing over several small streams, you will arrive back at the initial junction, which you can follow to the right to return to the trailhead.
