Hill 60 isn't a hike for the inexperienced. I started this hike by navigating up the very slippery Stanley Creek or scaling the mountain beside it, then branching off the creek up the steep mountainside until you reach logging roads which you follow to the top. The view from the first clearcut gives an unobstructed view of the entire town of Lake Cowichan, a clear view down the lake just outside Youbou and a straight shot of Honeymoon Bay in the distance (Mesachie Lake is behind a mountain). I would say this is the best aerial view you can get of Lake Cowichan without taking to the air. As you continue up the twisting logging roads from the clearcut on the front of the mountain you're brought to a view of the many mountain ranges behind Hill 60 before the road loops back to the front again. There is said to be an old mine hidden at the top of the mountain and that's what my friends and I set out to find, unfortunately we didn't find it that day, but instead we found some stunning views and over a foot and a half of unexpected snow.
