Burton DeGroot

This hiking area is one of the best around victoria for access. The parking is good, and the trail is well marked out. It is a B3 hike (caloric value, followed by YDS technical difficulty). The views on the way up and at the top are great. It does get a bit slippery when wet. The right foot wear is very important. It's about 35 min to an hour sign to sign depending on your speed and ability.

This is a hidden gem in Victoria, one of the most beautiful places for sunrises or sunsets, and it's right in the city. Park down at Sir James Douglas school if it is outside of school hours. The then walk up Masters street.

Amazing views, love this place. You just have to go! The parking lot is a bit small, so it's important to car pool if you can. The hike is 20 min or less, with the reward of views that are hard to beat in Victoria let alone the World. Not often are you able to see 270 deg views from a 20 minute hike!
