Today, we were off to another of the 34 parks listed on the Capital Regional District (CRD) Parks and Trails map that we picked up earlier in our stay at the Sidney Tourist Office just a few blocks up the street from where we are staying. Today, we were off to Thetis Lake Regional Park, which at 30 minutes from here, was our farthest drive to date.
Thetis Lake Regional Park was established in 1958 as Canada’s first nature sanctuary and has over 40 kilometers of trails. We combined the Lower Thetis Lake trail and Upper Thetis Lake Trail to get lovely views of both lakes and beaches, plus more impressively tall trees and rock formations, that made for a great outing.
It was the first park we have had to pay at, and that was only $2.20 Canadian ($1.66 US) for day parking. Below are pics from today’s tramp.
