Like Salt Spring, the long and narrow island of Galiano is also one of the Southern Gulf Islands.
It’s located to the east of the British Columbia mainland and west of Vancouver Island.
The 1,300 permanent residents on the island are mostly a creative community of artists, sculptors and writers. Galiano is sufficiently remote to feel like you’ve escaped the hubbub of everyday life.
Accessible via scenic Cottage way, most of the trail takes you gently uphill, through arbutus trees. Then it levels off as you walk along the cliff edge of Bodega Ridge.
