This spot is beautiful! Great place for a walk with the family. There is one picnic table down the path a bit with an amazing view of rolling hills. So peaceful, really pretty. Like a breath of fresh air. We did encounter a few cacti on our pant legs, so watch out for those. Some volunteers were there fixing a fence and putting up some signs to help you identify birds when we were there and you can tell they take a lot of pride in keeping the sanctuary a safe space for people to enjoy.
2. The Butchart Gardens

4.5 based on 11,216 reviews
Come enjoy our breathtaking 22 ha (55 acres) of gardens year around. In Spring, countless tulips, daffodils and hyacinths will give you a buffet of fragrances and colours. You’ll be saying “wow” when you experience our Summer: The Rose Garden, evening entertainment, subtle night illuminations, the Saturday firework show, and boat tours to name a few of the delights. Perennial borders start their stunning show in late summer, and the Japanese maples turn to russet, gold, and red in the fall. Be captivated by the Magic of Christmas with its decorations, expansive lighting and outdoor ice skating rink. Top off the day with a ride on the carousel and a great meal. Come see why we’ve been designated a National Historic Site.

You need at least 4 hours to take in this spectacular experience. Don't miss this opportunity! Gardens include the mind-blowing quarry, the Italian garden with reflecting pool, the rose garden, the Japanese garden, the dahlia garden, with sculptures and surprises at every turn, and many small inlets for solitude, reflection and appreciation. We were lucky to hear the Victoria Symphony rehearsing while we strolled under magnificent trees and took in the breathtaking views. This is a world-class garden.

This is a fairly short walk through a forest crossing 9 bridges and very easy stroll. Considering it is at the rear of the Resort you would never know as it is very peaceful.

10. Quesnel's Historic Fraser River Foot Bridge

Reviewed By Titetown_11 - Quesnel, Canada
We often take Quesnel's "River Walk" and often stop here to head out on the bridge to watch the Fraser rushing underneath. Quesnel was very wise to recognize how important conserving this bridge is to the Community--and visitors. And I really do recommend Quesnel's River Walk. You will enjoy the two rivers, and the path is paved and always clean and safe. They even keep it clear of snow in the winter!
