No need to pick between beautiful views of the surrounding natural scenery or the bustle of Victoria and townships on a trail that has it all. The vibrant coastal forests even hide a trestle bridge and many more signs of the rich history in the region. The product of mining and lumber industries from ages past, the railway is the perfect means by which to explore coastal BC by electric bike. Cross through forests, farmland, past waterways, coves, lakes, and more. There are countless spots to stop and take in the views or enjoy a meal. Since the Galloping Goose Trail is multi-use, watch for horses or other trail users in more rural areas.
