This trip is to go from Qualicum beach to Tofino, now this trip has some amazing stops and parks but beware the road on this trip can be very treacherous. So my tip is to stay towards the centre when you can but watch for cars really carefully. The roads sides drop of at times which can get hairy so pay close attention don't be hesitant to slow down a little.
The Symbols on the map are:
Burger and shake: Food/Store
Bench: Park/Resting Spot
Blue: Gas
Yellow: Start/End
Purple: Heads-up/Info
I used the Pacific Rim Camping grounds the way-point on the Tofino end but both Tofino itself and Ucluelet offer great camping as well as accommodation options.
However I would recommend to stock up on the way on food since it going to cost a bit more out there to buy then at one of the big boxstores along the highway.
The view on the beach is great and the surfing is pretty decent for beginners as well.
Here are some summer pictures from our last Tofino trip.

We realized that while the destination is impressive and breathtaking we should include some more pictures that show how amazing the route is as well not only due to parks but simply because of the ground you do cover. As you may notice there is a picture of a black bear cub as well remember when you see a cub you can take pictures but stay away from them mama is usually near and they don't take kindly to strangers.
