Grass Lake, Sheilds Lake, and Empress Mountain

​Join us for an all day hike through Sooke Potholes and the Sea to Sea Regional Park

​This 22.7 km loop is a moderate to difficult hike through the forested areas of Sooke. This is generally considered to be a challenging route, but does not include any large elevation gain in one particular area, rather there are a lot of ups and downs. This also includes a great swimming lake!
