Hike to Devonian Regional Park
WHERE: Meet at the Main Parking lot, 4749 William Head Rd, Victoria
DIRECTIONS to the Devonian Regional Park:
By car from Downtown Victoria: Go north on Highway 1 and take exit 10 toward View Royal/Colwood. Merge onto Burnside Road West and continue on Old Island Highway (Hwy 1A), to Sooke Road. Old Island Highway becomes Sooke Road and, about 2km after this name change, turn left at the intersection onto Metchosin Road. Follow Metchosin Road for the next 8km until you reach a 3-way intersection. Go straight through the intersection as the road is now named William Head Road. A short 2km drive further and the gravel parking lot for Devonian Regional Park is on your left.
