Timberman Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Enjoy a peaceful woodland hike on the Timberman Trail, where scenic viewpoints offer sweeping vistas of the Saanich Inlet. The trail climbs steadily through Douglas fir and western red cedar forest before reaching the lookouts.

Saanich Inlet Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Saanich Inlet Viewpoint is an early viewpoint on the Timberman Trail. Though not a sweeping view, it's a clear break in the trees, and an exciting teaser for more viewpoints to follow.

Malahat Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Malahat Viewpoint is reached on a short side trail from Timberman Trail, opening to a view across Saanich Inlet towards the Malahat. The best seat in the house is the swing hanging from the trees, where you can settle in facing the water and surrounding hills. It’s very easy to sit here longer than planned — getting into the swing is definitely easier than convincing yourself to get back out.
