For this weeks hike I drove to Qualicum with a friend. Qualicum is a very familiar place for me, I have been going on family trips there during the summer since I was 5 years old! I went on a hike to, “Englishman River Falls” which is just over two hours away from UVic campus. I found this hike on All Trails as well as through conversation with my mom who has done it before!
Englishman River Falls is a very short trail loop that includes upper and lower falls. Although it is short, it has some amazing views and some nice spots for swimming in the summer! This trail is well maintained and easy to navigate.
My star rating would be:

Although this hike was short and easy, I liked the adventure of travelling outside of Victoria to explore a new part of the island. The place itself wasn’t new to me but the hike was. I am in hopes that I will be able to see some more views of different hikes along the island for my last couple inquiry posts. Maybe I will head in the direction of Sooke next time!
