The summit of Mount Tolmie (124 m above sea level)'s viewpoints provide an excellent 360 degree panorama of Greater Victoria and the surrounding region, including Mount Douglas, the Olympic Mountains, Race Rocks and Lighthouse, the San Juan Islands and Mount Baker in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State.

There are over 1,500 m of trails within the park and many lead to the summit, through meadows and up rocky slopes. They also access picnic and viewing sites, secluded natural areas, and great spots for bird watching and quiet contemplation.

Around 1845, the mountain was named after Dr. W. F. Tolmie, a surgeon with the Hudson’s Bay Company as well as a biologist.
