Galiano Island Day Trip – Saturday April 2

[Katy Poon]

Thank you Carol for coordinating and leading the trip to Galiano Island.   It’s a great B hike with a solid 7 hours moving time.  Based on my iPhone stats, we did 22.9 km (please correct me if I am wrong) with 314m elevation gain to the summit plus some accumulative ups and downs of  +/-100m.  The views at the Bluffs Lookout are definitely not to be missed even adding another elevation gain of 153m!

I totally enjoyed the trip, the ferry ride, the bluffs view,  the Japanese charcoal pit kiln (https://galianoclub.org/club-programs/parks/pit-kiln/), the summit to Mount Galiano, the exploring of the Galiano trails, and my shopping at the Soap Factory!!   

Without hesitation, as long as the weather cooperates, I will do this trip again and again.   Please make it a regular (B Hike including Mount Galiano) on the schedule.   It’s a great escape from the hustle and bustle in town.   A moderate workout with two great views.

We ALL made it back to the ferry and the rain was holding off on the island for us.   I heard that it’s raining in town and we luck out with just the wind on the summit!

It’s a wonderful day.. thank you Carol and everyone who come and join me.  Happy NSH hiking!!!
