Maple Mountain
Located just outside of Maple Bay, this hike is complete with 4 or 5 different trails of varying difficulty and length. For those familiar with the trails I decided to take blue one way and yellow back. The blue trail is filled with many small creeks and streams, bridges and boardwalks as it continues up and down the side of the mountain. Just past the junction of the blue and yellow trails there is a creek that cascades down the side of the mountain and continues under the cut log that is made into a bridge that provides a great view of the entire waterfall. Along the yellow trail there are countless views of the ocean and Saltspring Island close by, as well as the tip of Penelakut Island off in the distance.
