Wesley Ridge, Vancouver Island
Quincy has the best trip report I’ve seen on this excellent, STEEP lake vista climb close to famed Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island.
Wesley Ridge is one of my favourite Vancouver Island hikes. The views from the top are incredible, and unlike many of Vancouver Island’s best hikes, the trailhead is easily accessed from the highway. …
WESLEY RIDGE ROUND TRIP DETAILS
DISTANCE: 7.2 KM / 4.5 MI
ELEVATION GAIN: 555 M / 1821 FT
HIKING TIME: 3 HRS
The Wesley Ridge hike starts by plodding along train tracks next to the highway. Don’t worry, they’ve been abandoned for years. …
After no more than five minutes, the trail breaks off …. Keep your eyes peeled, as it’s not marked. This fallen tree makes for a pretty good landmark, but there’s no guarantee it will be here forever. ..

I once climbed up to the Ridge viewpoint — then tried to traverse to the other end of the lake.
#FAIL. 😀
