Forested trails leading to a rocky summit with panoramic views over Nanaimo, the harbour and nearby Gulf Islands. Photograph mixed evergreen stands, mossy foregrounds, and wide coastal vistas; dramatic sunrise/sunset and marine layer/fog shots shine here. Trails are moderate; parking at the Marion Way trailhead, no entry fee. Best on clear mornings or golden-hour evenings; wet trails in winter—wear stout shoes. Weekdays are quieter.
