Sooke Hills Wilderness Trail Walk
Date: Wednesday November 18, 2026
Time: 1 pm
Location Sooke Hills Wilderness Trail Parking Lot,
3030 Humpback Rd, Victoria BC V9B 5Y6, Canada
The next walk for the BCGREA Branch 2700 is going to be Wednesday, November 18, at 1:00 pm.
We will meet at the Sooke Hills Wilderness Trail parking lot. This meeting place is in Langford and we are not going into the Wilderness. Four members of Branch 2700 scouted out the walk recently and we all agree it is a very nice walk.
The walk will be out and back from the meeting place. There is more climbing than our typical walks but the trail is in excellent shape, wide and provides good footing, very much like the Goose. There is an uphill section early on which we can take our time on. Then there is a rolling section before the trail drops down again to a viewing point for a small waterfall and then a suspension bridge. It is beautiful in there and takes us through part of the watershed. We can walk in different speed groups and those who don’t want to go all the way to the waterfall or bridge can turn around earlier, before going down to the waterfall. The full walk would take about 1 hr 45 min.
The write up for this park says it is challenging but this trail continues on for many kilometers and I’m sure parts of the trail are very challenging. The section we have chosen is relatively short, the trail is in excellent condition, although there are some uphill sections. We’ll have our usual snack and water break after the hike near the parking lot so if you have a chair you can bring in your car please bring it along.
Should be a lovely fall walk to end this year’s scheduled walks until we start again in March. Please respond to director1.branch2700@bcgrea.ca and let us know if you plan to attend.
