This 3rd Edition of the Sunshine Coast Trail Guidebook, by Eagle Walz has been revised extensively to reflect the numerous changes that have occurred in the past eight years.  It also includes changes expected in the next two years.

In the fall of 2009, PRPAWS received provincial funding through the Island Coastal Economic Trust to implement Phase 111.  It will see the establishment of shelters and wilderness huts and further improvement in marking and signage.
