With many routes to choose from, Bald Mountain can take 30 minutes or 3 hours. Starting just passed Marble Bay in between Youbou and Lake Cowichan, the hike follows a marked trail up the mountain. Continue through switchbacks and light forests until you reach a junction that splits right, to the smaller plateau that overlooks Marble Bay or left, up the the top of Bald Mountain with a view of both Marble Bay but also the bay behind on the Youbou side of the lake. The top of Bald Mountain isn't the true end of the hike, a sign at the top marks the end of the maintained trail, but locals know that beyond that sign there are many more viewpoints and a few more trails that snake around the remaining section of the mountain.
