Unfortunately, due to the hustle and bustle of the Thanksgiving long weekend and the weather I was unable to make it out for my trail walk/hike. So instead, this post will be dedacated to my upcoming hike. This coming weekend if the weather permits, I will be doing one of my favourite hikes, Old Baldy Mountain. This hike has one standard route/loop that you can start from either end of the trail. A tip from my first time doing this hike is that the trail further down the road is very steep compared to the other end which comes first when driving. This hike has a beautiful view of Shawnigan Lake along the way and all the surrounding area when you reach the top. One of my favourite features is there is a swing just before you reach the top which overlooks the lake.
This is not a hike I plan to do alone and would do alone. There is wildlife, which could pose danger to you since you are in their habitat. I recommend finding a buddy or group to do this hike with. When time for this hike comes around if my group is unable to make it, I will be staying local and doing the Thetis loop like I planned for this weekend.
