Sugarloaf Mtn Sooke Wilderness

Hiking up the south side of Sugarloaf 

Yesterday my son and I hiked up to Sugarloaf mtn, in the sooke wilderness reserve. We started from Sooke road, headed across Veitch Creek and followed an old logging road for about a mile and half before we headed straight up the south flank of Sugarloaf mtn.

 After the scramble up the loose rocks we pass through this narrow cut in the rock to the top of the knoll.

Heading down the mountain on the north side. Very steep but not as rocky on the path. Another hour and 20 minutes back to the car.
