Mount Maxwell - I'm not sure what distinguishes it from Mount Baynes - is probably the best view on Salt Spring. The high rocky cliffs of Nanaimo conglomerate stand way up above the Fulford Valley and Burgoyne Bay. The views south included the San Juan Islands in the haze. The view to the northwest is Vancouver Island.
The weather had started gray, but cleared up as the day went on. I considered hiking, but it was easier to drive! Maybe next year I'll hike into the Garry Oak groves on the lower slopes.
