Touch Grass #07: Mount Manuel Quimper

​An informal weekly hike with people from around Tenfold. There is no programming. We walk for a few hours and talk about whatever comes up.

​This week

​🥾 Mount Manuel Quimper
📍 Sea to Sea Regional Park / Sooke Hills Wilderness
🕙 Meet at 10:00 AM. We start shortly after.

↗️ ~480 m
⏱️ 2.5 to 3 hours
◒ Moderate to difficult, sustained climb

​Meet here

​We meet at the Harbourview Rd parking lot at the end of Harbourview Rd, off Sooke Rd (Hwy 14). The drive from downtown takes about 45 minutes, so leave around 9:15 AM to make the 10:00 AM start.

​The summit has a restored 1950s fire lookout tower and views over Sooke Basin and the Juan de Fuca Strait. The climb is steady throughout.

​Bring

​Wear decent shoes. Bring water, layers for the weather, and any snacks you want. Trails around Victoria can get muddy and slippery from October through December.

​We post weather, route, and access changes before each hike in the Tenfold community Discord. If you register and cannot make it, please update your RSVP so nobody waits for you in the parking lot.

​Touch Grass is Tenfold's Sunday hike series. Anyone is welcome.

​This is a community-organized hike. There is no guide and no outdoor program. Know your limits and look after yourself and each other.
