Vancouver Island

Galloping Goose Regional Trail

57 kmVancouver Island290 stops

Victoria's rail trail runs from the city's Inner Harbour out to the river pools of Sooke. You roll from coffee shops onto quiet farmland, then into deep coastal forest, all on a gentle railway grade. It gets wilder the farther you go. Ride an hour or make a day of it, the Goose rewards both.
