这个Mount Daniel在Gambier Island附近吗？
Gambier Island和SUNSHINE COAST的关系有点没搞明白？
=====================
Mount Daniel is a sacred site for the Native shishalh people of the Sunshine Coast. When young girls reached the age of puberty, legend has it that they hiked to the top of Mount Daniel and spent several days on their own in meditation. There are several places on Mount Daniel where one can see the moon rings these young girls constructed - stones arranged in a circular pattern to symbolize the moon, mother of womanly passages. They slept in the shelter of these sacred stones and spoke to them as part of the coming of age ritual.
The hike to the top is steep but not too difficult, and the view is incredible! You can see the complexity of coves, inlets and islands that make up the community of Pender Harbour, as well as Garden Bay Lake, Katherine Lake and Mixal Lake.
Recommended: This is a public location, but we would ask as a sign of cultural respect that you please call the Sechelt Indian Band prior to visiting this site. They can help you plan your hike so you maintain the integrity of the location and its place in shishalh history. 604-885-2273.
To get there: Drive north along Highway 101 to Madeira Park. Continue through town and watch for Garden Bay Road, the first major intersection to the north. (There's a PetroCan gas station there.) Turn left and follow Garden Bay Road for 3.4 km (2 miles) to a wide opening and dirt road leading to the left. Park here.
To get to the top, walk up the dirt road and take the first left fork. Continue up this road (ignore the right fork) until the road becomes a trail which winds upward rather steeply. Allow 1.5 hours up to the summit, less coming down. It's about 3-4 km (1.8-2.2 miles) each way. Give yourself time to enjoy the view too!
