South start of the Cowichan Valley Trail, part of the "Great Trail" across Canada. Lately it's even further south on the Sooke Hills Wilderness Trail. Beautiful terrain, hilly and pebbly paths. Often beautiful views of the bay Saanich Inlet.

Rollercoaster Hills

Highlight • Trail

You’ll need some low gears for the punchy climbs. Be prepared for a few sections that’ll take you off the bike for a bit of a hike.
