Cowichan Valley Trail – Malahat Connector

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

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.

A beautiful bridge in the middle of the Malahat First Nations area on the Cowichan Valley Trail (Malahat Connector). A totem right at the bridge shows where you are.
