Mt. Finlayson is located in Goldstream Provincial Park. This 2km trail to the summit has an elevation of 420m, making it quite steep. The trail starts in the forest on an old logging road. Ankles beware of the loose rocks and tree roots.
The trail leads you out of the forest and onto exposed rock. There are orange markers attached the the rock faces to guide your way. Here things get really steep. You will need your hands for scrambling up, over and around the rock faces. I passed a family just as the wife was scolding her husband, “Put away your phone and hang on to the rocks!”
There’s a sign marking the summit. Enjoy views of Langford, Bear Mountain, Juan de Fuca Strait and the Olympic Mountains.
