Despite the ominous weather forecasts, Wednesday turned out to be a very nice day. Seven of us, including one guest, took full advantage of it by hiking up to one of Quadra’s best viewpoints. Mt. Lolo is strategically placed to have a clear view both up and down Discovery Passage. After starting on the trail to Maud Island, we followed overgrown logging roads with gentle incline and steeper deer paths to open, mossy bluffs. We had a leisurely lunch break on the bluff, checking out the birds, the views and the vegetation. 7.3 km; 4¼ hours
