Trail description

From the trailhead on Finlayson Arm Road in Goldstream Provincial Park the trail climbs very steeply through arbutus and fir and then over bare rock, using hands in places, to the summit of Mount Finlayson (416 m), with views over the Saanich Inlet and the Malahat. Most walkers come back the same way; the rock is slippery in the rain.
