Moss Rock Park

Today’s walk is based off of walk #10 from John Crouch’s Walk Victoria. The walk we (Ryuu-chan, Dragon-Kun, and I) did was a bit longer (4.64km).

The walk Crouch suggested goes in a clockwise direction, making the walker go down a very rocky and steep hill. Going down said hill is not a problem. The problem is going down safely. For those who have bad knees/ankles, I suggest going in the opposite directions or using an alternative route (such as turning around from the view point of Moss Rock and heading East on Fairfield and heading down Memorial to Dallas Rd)

From Moss Rock we headed down to Dallas Rd.

We had a great view of the Olympic Mountains. I think they are called that because they often look like they are floating in clouds… but that is just my guess.

At clover point Ryuu-kun posed by a stone carving in the dog park.

We walked along the coast to the world’s largest totem pole (according to the sign) in Beacon Hill Park. My father says he remembers watching the pole being carved when he was a very young boy.

We then walked to the Children’s Farm where there are goats (with their creepy eyes), llamas, and chickens.

We then walked toward the cricket pavilion , tennis courts, bowling green, and croquet lawns.

Ryu-chan wanted to stay and play Croquet… but it was going on 2pm and Dragon-kun and I didn’t have lunch yet and were getting hungry.

If you want to do this walk there is parking beside and in front of the Children’s Farm in the park.
