many of which are not shown on the island maps so take careful note of your route if you wander off to explore. To drive to the top take Fulford-Ganges Road from the Fulford ferry terminal and head towards Ganges. About 1.5km before Ganges (approximately 11km from Fulford) head west along Cranberry Road and then continue on along Maxwell Mountain Road to the parking lot. The parking area is about 9km from the Fulford-Ganges Road and a part of this section is not paved and can be rough.If you would prefer to hike up (good one) then follow Fulford-Ganges Road from the Fulford ferry terminal and head towards Ganges and watch for Dukes road on you're left. Head up dukes to Seymour Heights and turn left. At the junction you can take another left on Armand Way and park at the end of the road where you'll find the more difficult route to the peak. You're other option is to continue along Seymour Heights (go straight at the junction) then bear left at the next one, then watch for the trail marker on you're left a short distance further on.
