From here, sweeping views are visible looking south towards the Langford area and down to the Bear Mountain Golf Resort. After enjoying the views, hike back down following the same route you took, being careful to watch for the trail markers through the exposed rock section.
Use your hands to carefully climb down some of the rocks and return to the forest, carefully watching your step as you walk back down the loose rock. Make sure to stay right at both junctions when returning as you make your way back down to the wooden map board near the road. Walk back along the road and return to the Goldstream Provincial Park day-use area. The hike to Mount Finlayson begins from the parking lot at the day-use area of Goldstream Provincial Park, near the park's Visitor Center.
To drive to the day-use area parking lot from downtown Victoria, follow Douglas Street northbound and continue driving as you leave the city and the street becomes Island Highway Highway 1. Continue along the highway for about 20km as the highway becomes a single lane when it enters Goldstream Provincial Park. Watch for signage and turn right at the Goldstream Provincial Park signs that point to the parking area. The trail to Mount Finlayson begins about meters across the bridge and along the road as you enter the park.
However, there is no parking along that road or near to the trailhead, so you will have to park at the designated parking spots next to the bridge or in the day-use area. Dogs are allowed on the trail to Mount Finlayson, however keep in mind that there are a few very steep sections that may prove to be challenging for a dog to walk up or walk back down. Please ensure to pick up after your dog and remove all excrement from the park.
Toilet facilities are located at the day-use area for Goldstream Provincial Park. There are no toilets along the trail to Mount Finlayson. Although we try to keep information as current as possible, www.
