The views and birdlife is the reason I always like hiking this trail. There are many beautiful plants and flowers including some very nice forest sections along the trail as well as plenty of birds and other creatures to see, so be sure to bring your camera. During the first part of the hike, you gradually begin to get some awesome views of Port Hardy. The trail itself begins as an old road that although a bit steep at the beginning is easy to walk. There is a trail that takes you right to the crash site, the trail is just over 4 kilometers long return. Fellow Hikers on the Dakota 576 Crash Site Trail, photo by Bud Logan TR Moss who was in the cargo hold survived the crash. Captain JM Talbot and his navigator, Captain TS Wordlow were both killed in the crash, Sgt. Halfway through this maneuver, the plane ran out of fuel, and he was forced to crash-land into the forest just minutes from making his landing. During a stormy day back in 1944, Captain JM Talbot attempted to make a landing at the Port Hardy airport, with the extreme weather, he missed his landing and besides the fact that they were extremely low on fuel, he was forced to circle around for a second attempt.
