Steep 20–40 minute hike to a rocky summit with sweeping panoramas over Saanich Inlet, the Gulf Islands, Victoria and the Olympic Mountains. Ideal for sunrise and golden-hour vistas, dramatic cloud/fog inversions, and nightscapes. Trail is well-marked but steep; parking at the Finlayson Arm lot off Millstream Rd. No fee. Weekdays and early mornings reduce crowds; weather can change fast—dress in layers.
