Burton DeGroot

This is a great little walk down to great views of a cool waterfall. It's about an hour walk if you also go down to McKenzie Bight. I but only about 40 minutes just to the falls. Dog friendly. The falls are close to dry in the summer, but are best seen in the fall, winter or spring.

This hiking area is one of the best around victoria for access. The parking is good, and the trail is well marked out. It is a B3 hike (caloric value, followed by YDS technical difficulty). The views on the way up and at the top are great. It does get a bit slippery when wet. The right foot wear is very important. It's about 35 min to an hour sign to sign depending on your speed and ability.

Great place to hike. With 2 summits, and 2 different viewpoints from each one. Park at the Mt Wells parking lot. Then hit the trail. You will cross the flowline, then the road. Just keep following this well marked trail. When you get to what seems to be the summit take a look. Such a wonderful view of the Sierra city, Mt Finlayson, and Mt Mcdonald right next to it. On a good day Mt Baker is in plane site. Then head into the trees for the second viewpoint that brings you face to face with Mt Mcdonald to the west and the strait to the south and east. Wonderful trees. Rated as an A2 hike. (A for Sierra Club caloric value, and 2 for Yosemite Decimal System)
