Super trails for hiking and biking. Sweeping views from the various outlooks and hilltops.
A moderate hike up to mt manuel quimper. A fire tower sits there built in 1951 and is the last remaining structure of it's kind. Roughly 8km. Lots of bike trails. Kid friendly. Dog friendly.
I absolutely loved this spot and if you are looking for a biking or hiking stop this is the place. Myself I can this time for my first visit with my mountain bike.
The parking lot was large and easy to get to just off HarbourView Road in Sooke. There is lots of room to park and features clean new put toilets as well as recycling and garbage cans. For bike riders there is also a nice bike wash to clean your bikes after the ride.
I have been to lots of trail areas and feel this is one of the best mapped and signed areas I have visited. There are area maps at all the major interactions and trip markers identifying the specific trails. They state the type of use ( bike hike horse) and difficulty as well if it is one way (bike)
We chose the Mt Manuel Quimper route so we can see the fire lookout. What amazing spot with views as far as Victoria and across to the Olympic Mountains.
This is a must do area for anyone that loves the outdoors.
New signage makes it easier to get around the park
Sea to Sea Regional Park, along with 2 other large wilderness parks in the Sooke Hills provides excellent wilderness hiking and biking through beautiful second growth forest. There is no vehicle access. There a few small lakes and many moss-covered hilltops that offer views overlooking the Sooke Basin to the Olympic Mountains in the background.
