The Extension Ridge Trail is a moderate to challenging trail following a sandstone ridge defined by mossy floors, forests of Douglas firs, and bright orange arbutus trees. Walking or riding along the ridge gives way to views of the Salish Sea, the Coast Mountains, and Mount Benson. The higher you climb, the better the views. The trail's most famous highlight is “The Abyss,” a dramatic 50-centimetre-wide fissure in the earth that draws curious hikers right to its edge, and further up the trail is a rock labyrinth and the mystical Fairy Circle.
