Wednesday hike night again. This time a few co-workers and I headed up the Colquitz River / Creek from Tillicum Mall. I suppose we could have started out with, or ended with, some burgers and beer from either Montana’s or Kelsey’s in the mall parking lot, but we’re way too high-class for that. Uhhh, yeah that’s BS, I’m not so classy.
Before tonight I had not previously done any hiking in the Colquitz River area. It’s not as much of an escape from civilization as some other places since traffic is almost always audible, but it was good. We made it almost to Carey Road before we decided to head back to keep our distance around 7km. I’ll have to head back here in the daylight sometime to check it out. Maybe I could do an extended version that includes some of the trails near the Camosun College Interurban campus; this would probably end up being about 15km.
As usual, see below for summary information and a map from our hike.
