A beautiful view point of the area and surroundings ❣️ a great place to enjoy any part of your day at this location 💯😎🔥😊❤️ Park benches, picnic tables, walking trails a little bit of hiking ❤️ plenty of view points. Usually good parking.
A good area to take a break and take it all in ❣️

This is an amazing opportunity to get a view of most of Victoria, a large part of Vancouver Island and on a clear day (I'm told as it was cloudy of course) you can see Seattle!

Even without being able to see mountains and Seattle across the bay, this was a gorgeous view and well worth the five minute, moderately steep climb. The path is well maintained and the stairs are well hewn, so you aren't scrambling up or down hillsides.

I saw plenty of plants still blooming in mid June, as well as multiple Monarch looking butterflies (I'm not an expert) fluttering about. I managed one not so cruddy photo of one of them after trying to take one for several minutes. They just didn't want to stay still for two seconds.

The drive up here is beautiful as well and you can park below and walk up the curvy road. As such, there were several points where walkers were taking up half the road or simply stopped having a chat in the road. Take it slow and easy.

There is a gate for the road going up to the top parking lot. It closes at sunset I believe it said. Your car is stuck there if you didn't get out by then. There is a porta potty up at the top, not a brick and mortar building for washroom activities. There is a dial with major landmarks and directions at the center of a seating area at the very top. Most people were standing on the white, stone bench seating though, to get the best panoramic view possible.

I loved every second of being in this natural area.

It’s not a very tall mountain, but you can see almost every part of Victoria on the top of mt. Tolmie.

Haven't been up in about 35 years. Used to come up with my parents. Nice to have a panoramic view of Victoria and the surrounding cities

This is one of Victoria’s most epic places to watch the sunrise and the sunset and get a great look at the city from a 360° view. Don’t miss this one. This is a must see and experience!

You can enjoy the beautiful view of Victoria, even it's not high. You can have very easy walking (not hiking) and it takes only 15-20 min to go top.

Went on a date here once and she slipped but I caught her right before she hit the ground. And that's how I got my girlfriend 👍 Classic date spot with a good view. Fun for a hike or to just drive up and eat a snack in the car 🚗
