BC AdventureSmart says some of the most popular hikes in the province are also the riskiest.
Sandra Riches, executive director of the program, says the list was determined by data collected by search and rescue teams across BC.
She says the trails aren't necessarily the most technically difficult routes but have led to a high number of rescue calls, likely through popularity.
The list includes the Stawamus Chief, Juan De Fuca Trail, Eagle Bluffs, Mount Seymour, Skywalk South Trail, Howe Sound Crest Trail, Golden Ears Summit Trail, Mount Albert Edward, Black Tusk, Grouse Grind and the Hanes Valley Trail.
