Mount Finlayson Trailhead

Nice place

It is absolutely stunning here, definitely worth the hike. The view is breathtaking. SERIOUS WARNING, though: if you want to go to the top of the mountain, it is extremely treacherous. There are no guard rails or ropes to hold onto, the trail is very steep and the rocks are slippery even when they're dry. Do not attempt to climb it if you are not well prepared or have mobility issues, it becomes less of a hike and more of a rock climb towards the end and the drops are very far down. One slip and you could seriously hurt or kill yourself- it was a bit scary and easy to get lost. Otherwise it is absolutely gorgeous and if you come prepared and are safe you'll have a great time!

Great trail with nice views over the Victoria area!

If you like adventure, try taking a different route when you come back from the top. You will eventually reach the arrows and the mountain will open up inside a forest. One of the best experiences of my lifetime. *WORTH YOUR TIME*. Loved the place and the scenic beauty. One of the most difficult trecks in Victoria

Breathtaking views from the summit. Well worth the climb.

Amazing hike!

Expert hike!

This hiking area is one of the best around victoria for access. The parking is good, and the trail is well marked out. It is a B3 hike (caloric value, followed by YDS technical difficulty). The views on the way up and at the top are great. It does get a bit slippery when wet. The right foot wear is very important. It's about 35 min to an hour sign to sign depending on your speed and ability.
