On the grounds of the Malahat First Nation near Victoria on Vancouver Island you can discover a large wooden tower, the Malahat Skywalk. It gives you great views on the Saanich Inlet, the surrounding forests and you can even look over into the United States of America – the border is very close and you can’t overlook Mount Baker in the state of Washington. To get on top of the tower you can follow a very long ramp that is winding up inside. If you’re brave you can get down very fast by using a slide.
At the foot of the tower there is also a coffee bar and a playground. To access the tower you need to purchase a ticket at the entrance close to the parking area – and it is not a cheap price. Afterwards you need to walk on a wooden walkway to the tower which lasts about ten minutes, but it is a convenient walk. The Malahat Skywalk is accessible from Victoria by shuttle bus and car, 30 kilometers on the Trans-Canada Highway. If you want to return from Malahat to Victoria you need to do a detour: you can’t turn left at the exit, you need to follow the highway to the next turning point.
