Christopher Rock
From the countless times I have done this hike, I have got my time down to under 20 minutes from the trailhead to the top. Christopher rock is a short hike to the top, but it's a steep hike. The hike is a combination of switchbacks, steep inclines and borderline rock climbs but it's not hard overall. Christopher Rock isn't nearly the top of the mountain, but it's the most prominent lookout point, second to Eric's Bluff which is only a few minutes further up the mountain. Upon reaching Christopher Rock you're greeted by a clear 180 degree view of Cowichan Lake and a bird's eye view of Youbou and the surrounding area. This hike starts about 50m past the water tower above the Youbou Hall.
