Join us for a 5 or 10 km walk in lovely Metchosin

Meet at the parking lot beside building #4495 Happy Valley Rd, Metchosin BC. Registration opens at 9:30 am and closes at 9:55 am. Please arrive by 9:50 at the latest. The walk begins at 10:00 am.

Route A: The 10 km route (rated 2C) includes the Sea Bluff Trail, Sitting Lady Falls, Tower Point, and the Hillman Trail. The Hillman Trail crosses Bilston Creek and includes views of dry Garry oak grasslands, active farms and a shady forest. The Sitting Lady Falls section offers scenic coastal views along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Rocky viewpoints along the Tower Point trail often provide excellent views of harbor seals on a small island. The 30-foot tower at Tower Point was built in the 1890s to store water piped from Bilston Creek. The wooden tower you see today is not original, but a remnant of the earlier construction.
Route C: The 5km route (rated 1B) includes portions of the Galloping Goose and trails in Metchosin.
A hiking pole is recommended. Proper footwear is mandatory.
