A 360-degree summit view ranked among Canada's most beautiful, and the whole trick is you drove here.
Mount Tolmie Park summit, Saanich
More infoThe trick with Mount Tolmie is you don't even earn it. Drive to the summit lot, walk a few steps to the rocky knoll, and there it is: a 360-degree sweep of Victoria, the Olympic Mountains, the Strait of Georgia and Mount Baker, ranked among Canada's most beautiful vistas, reached by automobile. Grab takeout and make it a dashboard picnic. Check the forecast first.
Here's the cheat code: drive straight to the summit lot, walk a few steps to the rocky knoll, and claim a perch for the 360 over Victoria, the Olympics and Mount Baker. Pick up takeout on the way and bring a thermos for a private dashboard-picnic; budget around an hour. Check the forecast first, then stay past dusk for the city lights.
