Thetis Seymour Hill 10 km route (rated 3C)
Thetis Lake Park is a regional conservation area near Langford BC. It was established as Canada's first nature sanctuary in 1958. Seymour Hill provides great views over Thetis Lakes and surrounding hills. On the top of Seymour Hill is a cairn with a compass rose. A compass rose displays the orientation of cardinal directions, north, south, east and west on a map. Arrows point to the surrounding hills and mountains giving direction, distance and elevation. The views include the glaciated Olympic and Cascade Mountains across the Salish Sea, Mt Baker, Mt Olympus and Mill Hill. The panorama is magnificent for a small elevation gain, 430 ft above sea level. The cairn and compass rose were built in 1968 by the Thetis Lake Sanctuary Association. This route can take up to 3 hours. Hiking poles and sturdy shoes highly recommended. Bring water.
