"See www.tfalkchalmers.weebly.com/mountprevost for photos from this hike! You can hike Mount Prevost in two ways, you can start at the bottom on Prevost Rd or you can drive 20 minutes along that same road, and finish the hike with 5 minutes of walking. If you choose the longer way it will take about an hour and a half to the summit. The trail to the top is a popular downhill mountain biking route, so you have to keep an eye out when you're hiking up and down, but the view from the top is well worth it. From the top you can see all of Duncan, parts of Victoria and many mountains surrounding the valley all in one beautiful landscape. Day or night the view from the top is a stunning sight.

"See www.tfalkchalmers.weebly.com/maplemountain for photos from this hike! Located just outside of Maple Bay, this hike is complete with 4 or 5 different trails of varying difficulty and length. For those familiar with the trails I decided to take blue one way and yellow back. The blue trail is filled with many small creeks and streams, bridges and boardwalks as it continues up and down the side of the mountain. Just past the junction of the blue and yellow trails there is a creek that cascades down the side of the mountain and continues under the cut log that is made into a bridge that provides a great view of the entire waterfall. Along the yellow trail there are countless views of the ocean and Saltspring Island close by, as well as the tip of Penelakut Island off in the distance. " — TFalkChalmers • Mar 5, 2016

"See www.tfalkchalmers.weebly.com/mounttzouhalem for photos from this hike! Mount Tzouhalem can take 30 minutes to reach the top, or 3 hours, depending what side you start the hike on. But no matter which way you come from, the view at the top is stunning. From the iconic cross at the top you can see the entire Cowichan Bay area on the one side, as far as Highway 18, and Quamichan Lake on the other. The hike to the top from the church isn't long but it sure is steep. Parking next to the church beside Island Farms on Tzouhalem Rd, the hike starts at the yellow gate and is a wide trail all the way to the top. " — TFalkChalmers • Feb 9, 2016
