Gowlland Tod

I've been pretty envious of Brenda's adventures this year; she's already been to the mainland twice, venturing as far as Camrose, AB. Finally on Sunday we were able to get out of town together for a short hike at Gowlland Tod Provincial Park. The park covers a lot of ground up the east coast of the Saanich Inlet, but we only covered a small portion of trails in the southern end.

Out on the trail.

We saw lots of arbutus trees.

We hiked up to Holmes Peak which looks out over Finlayson Arm. Usually we're on the other side of the water driving on the Malahat, so it was neat to see things from the east.
