Very good hike. Moderate with a climb to a great view. Many trail options here based on your time & hiking level.
Parking is next to the road, we didn't see it the first time. We hiked 3km to the Jocelyn Peak. It is a nice walk with beautiful views along the way. There are several signs to guide you.
Gorgeous views, 10/10 would go again. One of the best hikes in the Victoria area. If you don't want to leave the city check out Mount Tolmie RP!
Awesome trek. Starting at Gowllands park. Well marked 3 to 4hr hike. Stunning views. I recommend doing the loop counter clockwise to have those views at the end.
When you live in Victoria, it's pretty difficult to find a place to hike that is decently wild, quiet, within a 30 minute drive and not overun with dogs. I would give this one six stars if I could. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on leash at all times.
One of our favourite hikes to do if you want a shorten version to get to the top of Jocelyn Hill. Awesome views of the entire South Vancouver Island region. Expect to bank about 90 minutes round trip. Should have proper foot wear and expect some steep sections. Wet weather can make some areas slippery.
Great 6km hike to the Jocelyn summit via the Emma Dickson trail. It's steep and rather tough. But not technical. The views are amazing though and recommended for everyone.
