Hiking in Victoria Area - Thain Rd Quarry

 A friend of mine who likes to hike low incline trails on weekends and days off invited me and my wife for a walk North of Shawnigan Lake. This was in an abandoned quarry half way up on the left hand side off of Thain road. Her website has a review of this and many other walks. Check it out!

 It was an easy walk in with a crumbling paved road.

 The quarry has filled in with water from the owner not using it. The building condition definitely shows that.

 With some sprucing up, it could be either a post-apocalyptic set or an evil villain lair in a spy/action movie.

 There is a trail that leads around the lake but we just sat on the top and had our lunch.

 There were lots of dog owners around and a few ATVers.

We might try the trail one of these days. Definitely one of the many forgotten areas around Victoria, British Columbia. It is always good to get out and about to get ideas for terrain.
