Victoria - Beacon Hill Park
Green and well-tended, Beacon Hill Park, south-east of the Royal British Columbian Museum, is a favorite recreation area close to the town center. From its highest point there are lovely views across the Juan de Fuca Strait to the snowy peaks of the Olympic Peninsula (Washington/USA). A milestone on the south-west edge of the park marks the western end of the TransCanada Highway.
