Details:

A trip to the highest point in the CRD – an Island classic! Leaving from 
the upper Sooke Potholes parking lot, we’ll take the Mary Vine trail to 
Peden Lake, and then carry on to Empress Mountain. After a snack and 
lounging in the sun at the top, we’ll return via the same route. This 
trip is rated as B1 (B: 6 hours, 550m elevation gain, day pack; 1: 
gentle slopes, entirely on trails but with plenty of water and loose rock).

What to bring: good boots, plus a day pack with the ten essentials.

What to expect: water on the trail, and plenty of it.
