The Malahat SkyWalk is a 600-metre elevated walkway through arbutus and Douglas fir trees that leads to a ten-storey spiral tower, with views of the Salish Sea, the Gulf Islands and Mount Baker. At the tower you can step into the Overhang, a glass cube past the tower's edge, or ride down the 20-metre Sizzler Slide, and there is also the SkyWeb, a nature trail and a gift shop. Regular day tickets are $49.95 for adults and $35.95 for youth, and children get in free. The attraction closes for annual maintenance in late November.
