We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last week we drove south towards Davie Bay and parked on the main road at Eagle Creek. Taking the side road that goes up to Thompson Road we climbed steadily uphill eventually taking the last short but very steep side road on the left that ends at the very top of Eagle Mountain. The weather was cool, but pleasant enough with no wind and we enjoyed the view from the lunch spot looking out towards Vancouver Island. This particular hike is a little less than 5km each way, so not especially long, but the gain in elevation of 360m or 1,187ft does help to warm you up and burn a few extra calories! A nice hike for a cooler day.

The bluffs on the west side of Eagle Mt. provide a great view looking north-west beyond Dick Island to the ski slopes
of Mt. Washington on Vancouver Island.
