Join us for a beautiful New Year hike as we explore forested trails through ȽÁU,WELṈEW̱ / John Dean Park. There is parking on both sides of Cresswell Road. Our route takes us past several impressive old-growth Douglas firs, a quiet lily pond, to the peak of Mount Newton and the possibility of a short descent to Pickles Bluff.
The trails range from easy to intermediate with some hills and stairs. Please watch your footing and bring poles if you like using them. There are no toilet facilities on the trails themselves, but we’ll make a short detour to the parking lot outhouse after three kilometres.
After the hike, we’ll head to The Roost (at East Saanich Road and McTavish) for coffee or a bite.
At this time of year, trail conditions can change quickly. If the weather makes the park unsafe, we’ll switch to a safer alternative: a walk straight down Cresswell to the Victoria International Airport flight path, with a coffee stop at the Fickle Fig halfway around.

Walking Under the Tuscan Sun - Presentation at Robinson's Outdoor Store
2026-02-24 18:15 - 19:30
Via Francigena stretches more than 2,200 kilometers, a pilgrim’s thread running from Canterbury’s ancient stones to the eterna city of Rome. Our speaker Dennis Tam, walked the Italian heart of this storied path – 550 kilometers from the rugged beauty of the Cinque Terre to the rolling hills of Tuscany and onward to Rome’s welcoming gates.
Along his journey, he wandered through landscapes that stole his breath, stepped into the deep well of Italy’s history, and savored the food and wine that give each region its soul. With every mile, he discovered for himself the true meaning of la dolce vita – the sweet, unhurried life that Italy offers to those who travel it on foot.
