Summary

Description

We were up near Victoria, BC for a gardening conference this weekend. I skipped out Saturday afternoon and went for a hike in Gowlland Tod Provincial Park up to Holmes Peak and Jocelyn Hill via the Ridgetop Trail. One challenge was more than 20 cm of snow, which is quite unusual in the Victoria area. It was a fun hike, I saw lots of my favorite trees Arbutus menziesii. I made it up to near the top of Jocelyn Hill when the weather turned sour and I decided it was time to head back to Sidney for some scones and book shopping.

Thanks to Flickr member Calypso Orchid for giving me some great Saanich Peninsula hiking tips, I have to come try a springtime hike up here.

Update 7 March 2015 Arbutus menziesii has been disappearing in the Pacific Northwest, see The Decline of the Pacific Madrone
