The route follows a network of side roads and multi-use pathways along the coast towards Campbell River before joining forest service roads for the majority of the loop. The Tree to Sea Loop starts and ends in Comox on Vancouver Island, providing the perfect starting location for those ferrying in from the Sunshine Coast, flying into the Comox airport, or travelling north from Victoria or the mainland. The track bundles much of what the North Island offers into a well-rounded route that can be tackled in two weeks or easily expanded into a 20+ day endeavour with side trips and rest days. Along the way, riders tackling the route will have the chance to whale watch, explore caves, and unwind at some of the best waterside camp spots in the province. The Tree to Sea Loop takes advantage of the gravel roads north of Campbell River, linking together small coastal villages, incredible landscapes, and impressive granite mountains into a 1,000-kilometre bucket-list bikepacking route. Thankfully, the north end of Vancouver Island has a fantastic network of publicly accessible forest service roads that can be linked together into a genuinely epic gravel bikepacking route. Unfortunately, some outdoor recreation is prohibited due to land access issues stemming from the logging industry, making it challenging to share larger routes that head south from the middle of the island. Vancouver Island is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts, boasting year-round access, diverse landscapes, and loads of bikepacking potential.
