The Malahat is located on the west side of the Saanich Inlet, south of Duncan and 30 minutes north of Victoria on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Named after the Malahat First Nation, this rugged region of heavy forest and steep cliffs north of Victoria is traversed by one of the most beautiful roadways in the world, the Trans Canada Highway, with viewpoints providing scenic vistas of Saanich Inlet, the Saanich Peninsula, Saltspring Island, and the BC Gulf Islands in the distance. Ask your Malahat Bed and Breakfast B&Bkeepers for the best places to explore nearby. Goldstream Park, just at the northern edge of Victoria, where the Malahat section of Highway 1 starts, is great for hiking and for experiencing the salmon spawning and eagles foraging in the fall.
