Known as PKOLS in the SENĆOŦEN language, this culturally significant hill has been an important gathering place for the W̱SÁNEĆ and Lekwungen peoples for thousands of years. Today, the park protects some of the rarest Coastal Douglas-fir ecosystems in Canada, with a network of trails winding through forest, rocky outcrops, and Garry oak habitats. The North and South Ridge trails offer a great introduction to the park, combining beautiful forest walking with occasional views toward the Salish Sea and surrounding islands. Make sure to stay on designated trails to help protect the park's fragile ecosystems.

Mount Finlayson, at roughly 419 metres, is one of the most recognizable landmarks along the Saanich Inlet, towering above Goldstream Provincial Park and the Malahat. From here, panoramic views stretch across Greater Victoria, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the Olympic Mountains, and Mount Baker, making the climb to get here well worth the effort. This exposed, rocky summit is a great place to take a long, well-deserved break to enjoy the scenery before heading back down the trail.

The summit of Mount Finlayson is 419 meters high; the ascent is on a well-marked route, first through forest and later with scrambling over rocks. https://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=31207

The 30-meter-tall Sequoia Tree (Costal Redwood) dates back to the late 19th century. This is British Columbia's official Christmas tree. Every December, it is decorated with countless lights. https://www.leg.bc.ca/learn/discover-your-legislature/building-tour/exterior-features/sequoia-tree

Remarkable mountain that stands out from the surrounding hills. Particularly beautiful from this viewpoint: you don't have to climb up...
