Nice climb (about an hour to the top and back). Some slippery and steep spots, so shoes with good grip are suggested. Currently overlooking a development and there is some construction noise - kindof neat to see the development/construction from high above, but some may not appreciate that part of the "view". Overall good quick hike.
Very easy course. As far as climbing with children. The summit overlooking Langford.
This is a great hike if you’d like to see a few different types of scenery, including hill top views of the city, the surrounding hills, lakes and more. The hike up from the parking lots gets progressively more difficult, with lots of tree roots and rocks to climb over and around.
The top of the hill has almost no trees for shade but the view is spectacular. There are also chain ropes along the way at the top to steer in the right direction (and to help you up some of the steeper areas.

Beautiful but an advanced hike for real enthusiasts. Bears and cougars have been reported as being more active in the area. Only experienced hikers should attempt.
Really great place for a hike. Blogs say this is a difficult hike, however if you are in good shape it’s pretty easy. It’s about 30 min to the top.
Dog friendly.
There are a few places where it is a little challenging and could be scary if you were elderly or very young.
I wouldn’t suggest an old dog go on this hike or someone faint of heart or needs assistance.
Views are wonderful once you get to the top.
You can see downtown and the Olympic Mountains on a clear day!
Stick to the trails. I hear of people slipping and falling and getting hurt. Have fun!

We hike this mountain a lot throughout the year. Amazing views of Victoria, Sooke Hills, Olympic Mountains and the Juan de Fuca Strait. Bank on 60 minutes round trip from the parking lot to the summit and back.
Great place to hike. With 2 summits, and 2 different viewpoints from each one. Park at the Mt Wells parking lot. Then hit the trail. You will cross the flowline, then the road. Just keep following this well marked trail. When you get to what seems to be the summit take a look. Such a wonderful view of the Sierra city, Mt Finlayson, and Mt Mcdonald right next to it. On a good day Mt Baker is in plane site. Then head into the trees for the second viewpoint that brings you face to face with Mt Mcdonald to the west and the strait to the south and east. Wonderful trees. Rated as an A2 hike. (A for Sierra Club caloric value, and 2 for Yosemite Decimal System)
Great hike. Takes about an hour to get up with minimal scrambling. There are a couple of areas that need a little bit of care as they can be slippery, but there are chains and some ropes anchored around to help you up some of the more worrisome areas.
