TheWestCoastTrail
The extraordinary West Coast Trail is found not far from Ucluelet. Bamfield is home to the northern trailhead to this wonderful trail known for its 80 foot ladders, stunning beaches and regular encounters with shipwrecks from the Graveyard of the Pacific.
Mill Hill Regional Park is a well hidden though wonderfully short hike to amazing views of Victoria, Esquimalt and the Western Communities. The hike is only 15 minutes to the summit with a branching trail that leads to Thetis Lake Park. This is a remarkably seldom hiked park in Victoria. It is rare to see anyone on the trail or at the beautiful summit. The views are amazing.
What makes them even more amazing is that the views look as though you are on a much higher mountain than the small and short hike that brought you to this great summit. The hike is only 15 minutes to the summit with a branching trail that leads to the neighbouring Thetis Lake Regional Park. Mill Hill is home to a small forest of Garry oak trees. The Capital Regional District is actively working on reviving the Garry oak ecosystem on Mill Hill. Mill Hill has some amazing views of Victoria from a hilltop that most have never heard about. The trail is easy and short and arrives at the hill summit with dozens of brightly coloured arbutus trees. Less than 5% of the original Garry oak habitat of British Columbia is still in existence. Mill Hill is also notable as the traditional territory of the Songhees and Esquimalt people. Artifacts dating from 3000 years ago have been found in the area indicating long term habitation at the mouth of Millstream Creek. Mill Hill and Millstream Creek get their name from the Hudson's Bay Company sawmills located here in 1848.
