Saturday 1 March: Sooke Hills hike – designed to visit a few flower locations, get a bit of Sooke Hills dirt under our boots, and still be back in plenty of time to take in the Volunteer Appreciation
evening and AGM. First we’ll check out the satinflowers (hopefully some will be out) on a few of the Amigos. Then we will cross over and head up John/Stick Bump – stopping
by Martin’s Boulder for some boulder preening. From John we’ll head over to Malcolm and come down the Heavenly Trail. Then we’ll either hit the remaining Amigos
“backwards” (this is the twist) – or head right for the parking lot if we’ve dilly-dallied too long amongst the flowers.This hike may be shortened if there is heavy or continuous rain.

Hiking boots with ankle support and good tread are recommended for this hike. Hiking poles never go amiss in the Sooke Hills. Bring water/hot drink, snacks and a
lunch, rain gear, an extra layer of clothing, and the 10 essentials. We will stop for 11ses, lunch, and wildflowers!
Parking at the Sooke Hills Wilderness Parking Lot off Sooke Road – come for 8:50 am so we can start together at 9:00.
