Route Description for Mount Galiano Hike
If you find yourself on Galiano Island and looking for a moderate hike with some truly breathtaking views for the effort, then the Mount Galiano Hike will be right up your alley. The route sets out from the parking area and heads west through an amazingly atmospheric stretch of Pacific temperate rainforest that is packed with moss-covered trees and a plentiful amount of ferns along the forest floor. After making your way up to the summit, you will be able to sit and watch as the ferries stream across the water and drop off their passengers at nearby islands. After taking in the scenic views across the deep blue water, work your way around the trail loop at the summit of Mount Galiano before heading back down the main trail to return to the parking area where you began your hike.
